Electric Blue Day Gecko Juvenile (Lygodactylus williamsi)
The Electric Blue Day Gecko Juvenile (Lygodactylus williamsi) is a growing stage of this small, highly sought after arboreal gecko. Native to a very limited region in Tanzania, this species is known for its active daytime behavior and the dramatic color change that occurs as males mature.
Juveniles are typically green to bronze in color and do not yet display the bright blue coloration seen in adult males. As captive bred Electric Blue Day Geckos, juveniles offer keepers the opportunity to observe development over time, including potential color changes as the animal matures.
