Most geckos are active during the night and sleep during the day. However, the Monito Gecko is active during the day. Not much is known about the feeding habits of the Monito Gecko, but most geckos are carnivores. They feed on beetles, ants, flies, spiders, and crickets. They drink drops of water from plant leaves and juices from berries.
Most geckos live for about four to ten years.
The oldest ever recorded lived twenty three years. The recovery objective is to bring up the populations of the Monito Gecko to a level where it can be taken off the Endangered Species List. Before this can be done, a status survey and ecological study of the species are needed. Therefore, the present plan is to gather this information, reevaluate the species' status, and formulate a recovery level and specific recovery actions. A Special thanks to all the organizations that helped in providing information and giving of their time to help us put together this report about the Monito Gecko.
