Biotope

Phelsuma flavigularis is mainly found on Ravanela madagascariensis together with Phelsuma quadriocellata quadriocellata and Phelsuma lineata lineata. The sub-montane Andasibe has extreme temperature fluctuations during the year and even during the day. The average minimum temperature during the coldest is about 14.5° C and during the hottest months 21.4° C. In the cooler periods the temperature can drop below 10° C at night with a relative humidity of 95%. During daytime the temperature remains under 20° C with only a slight drop in humidity. The nights during the warmest months do not cool down drastically with temperatures around 22° C (90% RH) during night and 25-25° C (50-60% RH) during daytime.
