Phelsuma
dubia is a medium sized day gecko, males reach an overall
length of 155 mm; females remain somewhat smaller with 140 mm.
These altogether flat, however strongly built
animals, possess a variable colouring, which can go from
light grey over grey green up to leafy green. The tail can
in some males appear bluish. On the
back appear usually small spots, only consisting of a few
scales,
which are
black to reddish-brown. The ventral side is
bright, partially dirty white coloured. A
distinguishing feature is the orange eye ring. There is
no substantial difference between the sexes in the colouring. The
anal region of the males is yellowish and counts 22 to 29
femoral spores.
