Madagascar giant day gecko (Phelsuma grandis)

These cute day geckos climbed around freely in the Exotarium which I visited in 2017.

You can see that in some places the top layer of skin was missing, but already regenerating. When a day gecko is grabbed or bitten, it can loosen its top layer of skin to escape its threat. These wounds usually heal within a few months.
