Sobre
Flying geckos of the genus Ptychozoon are arboreal geckos native to the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia, including Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. They possess well-developed skin flaps along the sides of the body, limbs, and tail that function as parachutes, allowing the animals to glide between trees. The body coloration closely resembles tree bark — typically mottled brown and grey — providing effective camouflage when the gecko presses flat against a trunk. Adults reach 15–20 cm in total length. Flying geckos are nocturnal insectivores. In captivity they require tall, well-ventilated enclosures with cork bark hides, temperatures of 24–28°C, and high humidity of 70–80%. Handling causes significant stress, so observation-based keeping is recommended.
