Hawaiian Blue Gold Dust Day Gecko Adult Female (Phelsuma laticauda)
The Hawaiian Blue Gold Dust Day Gecko Adult Female (Phelsuma laticauda) is a selectively bred Gold Dust Day Gecko line associated with Hawaiian stock in the reptile hobby. This species is known for its bright green coloration, red markings, and fine gold speckling, with some individuals showing cooler blue toned coloration depending on lineage and development.
This gecko is not a separate species or officially recognized subspecies. It is a Gold Dust Day Gecko, scientifically known as Phelsuma laticauda, with the “Hawaiian Blue or Blue Line” designation used to describe a line tied to Hawaiian lineage. As a line bred trait, blue coloration is variable and not guaranteed in every individual.
Important: This listing is for a adult female. Coloration, including any potential blue tones, will vary based on genetics, age, and overall development. The animal pictured is a representative example and may not be the exact individual received.
Adult Female Information
This product is for a confirmed adult female Hawaiian Blue Gold Dust Day Gecko. Females are well established and are a great option for keepers looking for a healthy, consistent feeding gecko with the same active daytime behavior this species is known for.
Compared to males, females may show slightly softer coloration and less contrast in pattern, though they still display the characteristic green, red, and gold appearance of the species. Like all Gold Dust Day Geckos, they are best suited as display animals rather than for handling.

Diet
Gold Dust Day Geckos are omnivorous and should be offered a varied diet that includes:

Feeder insects should be dusted regularly with calcium and vitamin supplements. A balanced diet supports overall health and proper development.

Lineage Note
Gold Dust Day Geckos are native to northern Madagascar, but Hawaiian Blue refers to a line associated with Hawaiian stock where introduced populations of Phelsuma laticauda exist. The term reflects lineage within the hobby rather than a naturally occurring Madagascar variant.
