The Giant Day Geckos at
GiantDayGecko.com are housed year-round in outdoor enclosures.
|
|
Our geckos have been selectively bred to tolerate
brief exposure to cold temperatures. Every year the geckos will experience a cold night in the mid 40's.
|
|
The main diet fed to our geckos consists of crickets and fruit.
|
|
GiantDayGecko.com
recommends the use of Rep-Cal products as the source of vitamin and mineral supplementation and guava or mango baby
food (Gerber 2nd foods) as a source of fruit.
|
|
Females
will lay eggs year-round, but during peak egg-laying season, from March to June,
they can deposit eggs as often as every six weeks.
|
|
Giant day gecko eggs are extremely tolerant of brief temperature fluctuations.
Giantdaygecko.com has hatched eggs briefly exposed to temperatures as high as
102°F and as low as 51°F without incident.
|
|
GiantDayGecko.com
is constantly experimenting with better ways to maintain and breed giant day geckos.
A new system to incubate eggs has proven to be effective. In an effort to increase ambient humidity
eggs are incubated above water.
|
|
Peak hatching season is from April
to July.

|

Inc. with fifty high-end giant day geckos for release into their newly renovated
Knight Rainforest Exhibit. CLICK HERE to view exhibit.
