''Phelsuma grandis'' Gray, 1870, is a diurnal arboreal species of day gecko (''Phelsuma'' spp.). These geckos are part of the Phelsuma group, which consists of in excess of 70 species and subspecies. They are commonly referred to as the Madagascar giant day gecko, due to their large size. They are found in areas of tropical and subtropical forest in northern Madagascar. ''P. grandis'' feeds on various invertebrates, very small vertebrates, and nectars. ==Description==
This lizard reaches a total length of .〔Glaw, F. and Vences, M. (2007).''A Field Guide to the Amphibians and Reptiles of Madagascar.'' 3rd edition. ISBN 978-3-929449-03-7〕 The body colour is bright green or, rarely, bluish green. A red stripe extends from the nostril to the eye. On the back there are typically red coloured dots or bars. These red markings are quite variable, and in some cases, completely absent, though the line extending from the nostril to the eye is always present. Some specimens may have small blue spots. Adult specimens may have large sacs on their necks. These are stored calcium sacks. Young individuals of the species often exhibit much more red than their parents, but as time passes, many of the markings fade, to leave those that will stay for the remainder of the gecko's life. The underside of these animals is a creamy white ranging to an eggy yellow. When stressed, the colouration darkens, rendering the whole animal a dark green, and the red markings on the face and back more orange in hue.
