I and a few moore keep them today,and they reproduce,but
as far as I know not any or
very few males are ever
breed.

also a species in danger.

If this is the case, and I do not doubt my source as

his name, then these are in danger to. Anyone care to add?
A lot of Phelsuma species are endangered and among them
P.pronki and P.
antanosy.The problem is that many Phelsumas live in
very small areas and are
therefor extremly threatend by
deforrestation.
