 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.
