	Description
This a small and beautiful species. It has a yellow head, its belly is grey/white and the back is lightblue covered on both sides with a neon-blue line. The tail is also blue and sometimes it degrades to blue/purple. The legs are light brownished with light spickles on it.

Breeding

In one word: easy! This is really an easy Phelsuma to keep. They are not agressive to eachother, females aren't hunt down. During the season (March - September) the female will produce almost every 4/5 weeks two eggs. After an average period of 70 days they will incubate. The juveniles are an exact copy of their parents (but a lot smaller, 3-4cm head-tail). They start immediately eating small fruitflies. ones a week I gave them a mixture of Olvarit babyfood (banana), vitamine AD3, powdered eggshelfs and powdered sepia. The juveniles seems to like this very much (it smells and tastes very sweet). I keep my juveniles separately because of the small containers I use, 30x20x20, but you can keep a small group together if you provide them enough room and food.
