Does a Madagascar day gecko migrate?

Any gecko species let alone the Giant Day's will not migrate. The Giant day geckos is native to the Madagascar region. The Giant Day Geckos (Phelsuma madagascariensis grandis) thrive in a habitat from 76 F - 80 F, and the climate in Madagascar suites every one of their needs. MOST reptiles are unable to adapt to another environment, if they do, they are considered to be an invasive species in most cases. The Boa's native to Asia, are now adapted to the everglades of Florida, Or the Tokay gecko now adapted to Florida's conditions. These animals were not endemic to these regions but due to reptile hobbyist's releasing their pets, animals escaping etc.. they are now able to "cope" with the environment they are provided with. If Global warming were to make the Climate crash, in that case, the reptiles would need to relocate to survive.

How does a Madagascar Day Gecko protect itself?

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.
