Behaviour and Diet
The Four Spot eats various insects and other invertebrates, but they also like to lick soft, sweet fruit, pollen and nectar. These geckos are most active after the cooler months of June-August. Their mating season falls between October and the first weeks of May. During this period the females lay two eggs 3–5 weeks apart. Up to 6 pairs of eggs are laid per year. At a constant temperature of 28°C, the young hatch after 40–45 days and measure about 30 mm.

Famous quotes containing the words behaviour and, behaviour and/or diet:
“... into the novel goes such taste as I have for rational behaviour and social portraiture. The short story, as I see it to be, allows for what is crazy about humanity: obstinacies, inordinate heroisms, “immortal longings.””
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
“I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility—I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“Literary tradition is full of lies about poverty—the jolly beggar, the poor but happy milkmaid, the wholesome diet of porridge, etc.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
