 The mission:
In partnership with D.O.C. we are breeding the Marlborough Green Gecko for release onto predator free islands in the Marlborough
Sounds. We have a variety of other species on display for educational purposes. We hope we can help ensure these species exist for
future generations to enjoy.
Habitat:
New Zealand has about 17 discovered species of gecko, living in mountains, forests and even on beaches.
Food:
 Geckos
eat a variety of insects such as moths and beetles, supplemented by nectar, small berries and other fruit.
Breeding:
New Zealand Geckos are the only geckos in the world to give birth to live young. They give birth in the early autumn (often twins),
and as soon as a baby is born it is released by its parent to fend for itself. |
