PANTHER GECKO (Paroedura pictus) The Panther Gecko, Madagascar Ground Gecko or Ocelot Gecko is a relatively new addition to the pet trade that is rapidly gaining popularity among lizard keepers. It is a hardy, easy to maintain reptile and if properly cared for, an interesting pet that will live for many years.

The Panther Gecko is a nocturnal species native to the drier portions of south and southwestern Madagascar. Habitats include dry forests, rocky savannas and even sand dunes. When not active, they find shelter under rocks, bark or burrow in the sand.

The gecko reaches a length 5 to 7 inches when mature, with females being slightly smaller than males. A “banded” and a “striped” phase occur naturally, many other interesting variations are being selectively bred in captivity. The ground color of the body consists of various shades of brown with light tan, white or cream colored markings. Hatchlings tend to be chocolate brown with golden markings.
