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 look on it as no trifling effort of female strength to withstand the artful and ardent solicitations of a man that is thoroughly master of our hearts. Should we in the conflict come off victorious, it hardly pays us for the pain we suffer from the experiment ... and I still persist in it that such a behaviour in any man I love would rob me of that most pleasing thought, namely, the obligation I have to him for not making such a trial.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
“Television programming for children need not be saccharine or insipid in order to give to violence its proper balance in the scheme of things.... But as an endless diet for the sake of excitement and sensation in stories whose plots are vehicles for killing and torture and little more, it is not healthy for young children. Unfamiliar as yet with the full story of human response, they are being misled when they are offered perversion before they have fully learned what is sound.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
