Smith's Green-eyed Gecko (Gekko smithii)

Gekko smithii is an arboreal gecko native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia. The species is well known for its vivid green eyes, robust build and attractive colouration.

A suitable enclosure should provide plenty of vertical climbing space, branches, cork bark and multiple hiding places. Naturalistic environments help encourage normal behaviour and activity.

Its diet consists primarily of insects and other appropriately sized feeder animals. A varied diet combined with calcium and vitamin supplementation supports healthy growth and long-term wellbeing.

Its impressive appearance and substantial size make Gekko smithii a rewarding species for dedicated reptile keepers.
