The round island day gecko (Phelsuma guentheri) has a unique method of locomotion that includes rapid, agile movements, allowing it to navigate its arboreal habitat effectively. It utilizes its specialized toe pads, which have microscopic structures that provide excellent adhesion to surfaces, enabling it to cling to vertical and even inverted surfaces. Additionally, this gecko is known for its vibrant coloration, which not only aids in camouflage among foliage but also plays a role in social signaling.
Round Island day gecko was created in 1885.

Round Island Day Gecko feet is adapted to where they live because they live in a wet , cold area , and there feet is furry and it keep them unwet and dry.
As all geckos do, they have the ability to "drop their tail" meaning the cartalage at the base of their tails can contract and the tail can detach from the body. This will give the gecko a couple extra seconds to get away from harms reach. A few seconds is all a gecko usually needs to find it's self deep in brush.

I assume you mean Gunther's gecko? The temperature there is typically 20-30 plus degrees in 'winter' and 26-over 40 degrees in the 'summer'. It can be very dry there, typically of tropical island climates, with heavy rainfall more common in the months of December through to February (summer). I hope this was helpful.
