Contents:
The day geckos of the genus Phelsuma with their bright colours and interesting behaviour are among the absolute favourites of terrarium keepers.
Hans-Peter Berghof has been successfully breeding these lizards for a long time and shares his accumulated knowledge about keeping and breeding these beautiful geckos here.
The special section presents all species in detail with their care requirements in words and pictures and indicates which animals are easier and which are more difficult to keep.
The ideal supplement to the standard work by Hallmann et. al. from 1997, supplemented by all species discovered since then and newly published literature.
