I observed several individual day geckos (Phelsuma sp.) on the tree trunk, but many were too far away to attract the attention of Male 3, and none was captured successfully despite the efforts of the snake. Some of the geckos attracted the attention of the snake, and the snake oriented his head and body towards them, in some cases moving to different branches that were closer to
the position of the gecko on the tree trunk. In at least one instance, a gecko looked at the snake and thereafter responded to the movements of the snake by crawling farther away from him. Other geckos may have observed the presence of the snake, but if they did, then it was not as clear to me that they avoided the snake on purpose rather than by chance.
