Product description and measurements
The Rodrigues day gecko (Phelsuma edwardnewtoni), also known as the Rodrigues blue-spotted day gecko, was an extinct species of day gecko, a lizard belonging to the family Gekkonidae. This unique species was endemic to the island of Rodrigues, where it found its home in forests and trees. Unfortunately, the Rodrigues' day gecko probably became extinct in the 20th century, and its disappearance is mainly attributed to habitat destruction caused by human intervention and the introduction of invasive predators, such as cats and rats.

Measuring around 23 centimeters including the tail, the Phelsuma edwardnewtoni was one of the largest day geckos. Its appearance was remarkable, with a robust body and vibrant colors. It was described in life as bright green with blue spots on the back, and the lower tail had a whitish yellow hue. The chin stood out with an intense yellow color.

These diurnal geckos fed mainly on palm fruits, as well as various insects and invertebrates associated with palms. Their behavior was distinctive, as they did not fear humans and were quite docile. They even ate fruit out of hand. Despite its extraordinary beauty, the species faced inescapable threats that ultimately led to its extinction. The last confirmed sighting dates back to 1917, and currently, only six specimens remain in the Natural History Museums of London and Paris. These specimens, preserved in alcohol, serve as silent witnesses to a species that once populated the island of Rodrigues. The extinction of the Rodrigues day gecko highlights the fragility of biodiversity in the face of human activities and highlights the pressing need for conservation and preservation of unique habitats to prevent the irreversible loss of exceptional species such as this one.

Made to scale, prototyped in resin and with a scenic base in most of the models offered. If you like miniatures, both for collecting and for painting, we offer you a wide variety of scale replicas; All of them related to dinosaurs, extinct prehistoric fauna and current fauna.

So if you love dinosaurs and animals as much as we do, this is your favorite store to collect and paint them :)

We are authorized distributors of all the replicas and figures we offer. We use 3D printers with 8K - 14K resolution, and high-quality resins with additives to improve hardness and flexibility, thus offering replicas of impeccable quality.

Different scales will be used to make the replicas (depending on the size of the species), although we are open to making other suggested scales upon request as long as they fit in our printing trays, for which you will have to contact us via email and request the required size.

Replicas are supplied with the option of airbrush priming in dark grey. If you require another colour, please let us know which one you prefer in the box with special instructions for the seller. Without priming, we do not guarantee that the resin will accept paint.
We also offer the option of choosing a professionally painted replica, which is agreed upon throughout its development with the painter, through a private chat available.

The poses of the models aim to represent each character in the most scientifically viable way, thus revealing the life and customs of prehistoric and modern fauna.

Each character has its own personality and develops in different life scenarios; birth, adolescence and play, hunting, feeding, fighting, courtship, death and many other scenes from their daily life, always from the creative perspective of their designers.

Handmade

All orders are individually prepared on the cutter for subsequent prototyping, obtaining a resin part that will require post-processing by manual and ultrasonic cleaning, support removal, ultraviolet curing, labeling and packaging.

We are authorized distributors

We offer both our own physical replicas and those that have been modeled by many of the best 3D designers, in order to offer you the greatest possible variety.
