Best Answer

Phelsuma madagascariensis grandis Or Madagascar Giant Day Gecko are an omnivore species. Relying on fallen fruits, saps, pollens, and insects their jaws have been built to eat it all. Their jaw structures are none in comparison to a Tokay gecko but they do have a snap. The Phelsuma species are diurnial, meaning they're active throughout the daytime hours. They have plenty of predators in their region ranging from birds to Spiders, or even other reptile species. For these reasons the Day geckos are lightning fast. A giant day gecko will ward a oncoming predator by making a very wide variety of vocalizations. If one is persistent and continues to pursue the day gecko, their legs kick into action and in a matter of a second or two, the day gecko has reached top velocity and out of harm.
