Mauritius Animals
Phelsuma cepediana
First the good news: there are no dangerous animals in Mauritius. No poisoning snakes, huge scorpions etc. But it’s a tropical country – that means we have a lot of small crawling bugs, flying cockroaches etc. The best police against mosquitoes (no malaria in Mauritius!!!) are the geckos in your room. Don’t worry, they don’t bite you. They eat ants, small spiders etc. Take some precautions: don’t leave food out, don’t let the light on and the window open and –as the last resort: buy spray! Also very common: coils (spirals) smoking like hell, no mosquito will enter the room (and after a while you want to leave it as well…) and here are some Pirctures from
Mauritius Animals.
