anyone have any experience with these?

the petstore near me has one i noticed when i went to buy some mealies and it looked pretty cool. anyone know anything about them or know of a good caresheet for them?

it's priced at $80 but i'm not looking to buy one anytime soon.

one good thing is the store looks to be expanding its reptile section quite a bit and just got a bunch of those exoterra terrariums with the doors on the front in stock. that will be good since all the reptile stuff is crammed into one tiny room at the moment.

check out www.phelsumaweb.com. It's a day gecko site in English and Dutch (you can choose your language). I think they have caresheets. I don't have one of that kind, but I do have a gold dust day gecko and a phelsuma klemmeri (in separate tanks) and once the tank and the routine are set up, they are very easy to maintain. There is a great book called "Day Geckos in Captivity" by Leann and Greg Christenson that helped me a lot to get my tanks set up.

Common name seems to be appropriate of Phelsuma quadriocellata, but subspecies is impossible to know without pics. That price is over market, assuming it is wild-caught. Captive bred phelsuma are experiencing a rise in cost, so that might be appropriate for a well-done specimen. I've kept quads for some time now and they are easy as pie, provided you know how to keep day geckos (in a general sense). There are few caresheets for Phelsuma that are actually any good, so if you have any specific questions, go ahead and ask them. I'll keep an eye on this thread...
