Electric Blue Day Gecko Baby (Lygodactylus williamsi)
The Electric Blue Day Gecko Baby (Lygodactylus williamsi) is the earliest life stage of this small and highly sought after arboreal gecko. Native to a very limited region in Tanzania, this species is known for its active daytime behavior and dramatic color differences between males and females as they mature.
Baby geckos are typically green to bronze in coloration and do not display the bright blue coloration seen in adult males. These captive bred Electric Blue Day Geckos provide keepers with the opportunity to observe growth and development from an early stage.
