The Ornate Day Gecko (Phelsuma ornata ornata) is native to the tropical rainforests and coconut plantations of Mauritius and is characterized by its soft skin, bizarre eyes, specialized feet, and brilliant colors. They are flexible in chosing their habitat and have succesfully adapted to cultivated areas. Ornate Day Geckoes are omnivorous, feeding on insects, nectar, saps, juices and consuming pollen and fruits. They are diurnal (active during the day) and arboreal. The Day Gecko is the most vocal of all geckoes and this species is one of the smallest reptiles in the world. It is endemic to Mauritius.
