Like all gecko species, They have the ability to close the cartilage of the base of their tails and they can "drop" their tail. The tail acts as a decoy, while the gecko can retreat to safety.

∙ 11y agoThe round island day gecko, otherwise known as the P. guentheri is a endangered species of gecko. This species has been protected under CITES and has been introduced to specific zoo's to try and create a breeding program to bring back the animals numbers. There has been two zoo's successfully breed this species. Like all geckos the Guentheri is capable of detaching their tails when in the grasp of a predator. Also, they are able to vocalize and most day gecko species enjoy the company of one another this allows them to warn one another when an approaching predator is in the area.

shead their tail off, and run as fast as they can and go underground in a hole- if they find one, if not sad things may happen!
