Diet
Dull day gecko primarily subsists on arthropods. It has a predilection for various insects, particularly ants, beetles, and spiders. Nectar and pollen from flowers also supplement their insectivorous diet, catering to their omnivorous tendencies.
Appearance
Dull day gecko is a small, slender-bodied Gecko characterized by a smooth, waxy skin. Its primary color is a striking light green, sometimes tinted with blue, extending across most of its body, while its belly is off-white. Notable features include its large round eyes, distinctly set-off by a dark patch. Males are differentiated by their heavier build and darker coloration.
Behavior
Dull day gecko exemplifies an arboreal lifestyle, skillfully navigating treetops with the aid of its adhesive foot pads. Primarily diurnal, it basks in the sun for thermoregulation and hunts for invertebrates. Marked by solitary territorialism, it uses visual displays to deter rivals. Its cryptic coloration is a survival adaptation to elude predators.
