Very few of them are available as 'pets' in stores. Some are so endangered that there are only a handful of serious breeders working with them, and they'll be passing offspring to others who can attempt to keep the species alive.

Most of the ones you'll see in stores are

Phelsuma klemmeri
Phelsuma laticauda laticauda
Phelsuma lineata lineata
Phelsuma madagascariensis complex
Phelsuma quadriocellata
Phelsuma standingi


Over the years I've also seen these in reptile/gecko specialty stores
Phelsuma cepediana
Phelsuma comorensis
Phelsuma dubia
Phelsuma cepediana
Phelsuma comorensis
Phelsuma dubia

Very rarely offered but possible are
Phelsuma ornata
Phelsuma robertmertensi

and then in a store in VA they had misidentified Phelsuma seippi and Phelsuma serraticauda (too bad I was visiting or I'd have bought them up but getting them into Canada with me would have been impossible.)
