Jason and All, According to the so-called recent descriptions of lowland and upland types of Phelsuma cepediana I have an upland male and a lowland female. They both get along very well together and are neither boisterous or shy. So far I have six offspring from this breeding pair and three eggs incubating insitu. If the description of type holds water then they will interbreed. The female is very white underneath and the male is very green. It is my personal opinion that they are both Lowland forms of P. cepediana, especially if you take into account Sean McKeown's descriptions of upland forms.
Here are some links to pictures of the pair.
