Details basic care with extensive information on a variety of food sources and nutritional information, cage construction ideas, health problems, breeding, and incubation. Also has care instructions for importers and pet shop owners.

A must have book for anyone interested in keeping or breeding Day geckos. Includes sections on general information, housing, feeding, breeding, diseases and disorders.
Contains 80 pages on individual species accounts which include total length, distribution, typical habitat, brief description, management, and captive breeding.
Even though new species have been discovered since this book was printed, it is the most complete reference in print on Phelsuma day geckos. This book has over 90 pictures, diagrams, and maps.

to the world of Phelsuma is this book. Though generally very helpful and nice, some of the info (especially latin names) is not up to date, some species are missing (Phelsuma Pronki, Phelsuma Masohoala etc.) due to their recent discovery. If you are able of reading german, I can only advise you to get a copy of the amazing book:

Faszinierende Taggeckos - Gattung Phelsuma Authors: Hallmann/Krueger/Trautmann

This is the bible of Phelsuma friends.
