A panther gecko is a small sized gecko native to Madagascar. This species is scientifically known as the Paradura Picta. Common names include: Madagascar ground gecko, pictus gecko, ocelotte gecko. They are solitary animals and grow to 4-6" in length. They are a nocturnal species and are insectivores. They will live to the age of 5-10 in the wild and 10-15+ in captivity. During breeding season this species is well known to breed as many times as they possibly can and this can sometimes lead to a calcium crash in females and ultimately death. They will lay 2 hard shelled eggs and deposit them 4" or more into moist soil. With an incubation period slightly quicker than a leopard gecko at approx 40-60 days, once hatched the babies are left to fend for themselves.
