Andaman Day Gecko

The Andaman day gecko is a small, slender, bright green lizard that feeds on insects. The body is bright green with red dots and stripes on the back, males have a bluish or turquoise tail, and a reddish-brown stripe runs from the nostrils to the ear on each side of the snout. The underside is bright yellow or off-white (Wikipedia, general species account).

It is endemic to the Andaman Islands of India and has recently been introduced to the Nicobar Islands. Its range lies nearly 5,000 km from the centre of the distribution of the genus Phelsuma, in Mauritius and Madagascar. It normally lays two eggs in a protected, elevated place, and 14 pairs of eggs were laid over 18 months in one observation.
