Habitat:
This day gecko is widely distributed and occurs in many different types of habitat. It inhabits primarily coastal and low-elevation areas where it is found in humid and dry forest as well as urban and agricultural (e.g. plantations) settings. It is tolerant of moderate habitat modification and is abundant in orchards (D'Cruze et al. 2009). At higher elevations, above 800 m asl., it is found only in rainforest, typically on large, hollow dead trees. This species does not glue its eggs.
Range:
This species is widely distributed in eastern Madagascar at low elevations, and can occur up to 1,000 m asl in forest. It has been found over an area of nearly 79,750 km².
Conservation:
There are no site conservation measures in place although the species occurs in various protected areas. The species is listed under CITES Appendix II.
