Got my Tokays back.

I kept these guy for 5 years before a move forced the sale to my old roommate. I gave him a screaming deal on the set up and he swore he'd never let them go. I moved back to Portland and begged to get my tokays back for two years, finally his work schedule forced him to get rid of most his critters and I got my geckos back!
The male is around 7 years captive and the female is 6 years captive. Both have produced numerous babies over the years. I built the cage 4 years ago out of a sunglass case with a lot of fake rock in the background, some of you may remember it. I currently have 3 good eggs in the enclosure. I also received my old colony of dubia's still 200 strong. That's all they eat except for a few WC bugs during the summer.
GG

He's almost exactly a foot long.

Crappy pic but good for size reference.

And the Cage

Nate

Lord have mercy! That's is the first Tokay I have ever seen being held. Or is that small cut on your finger the result of? LOL!

Re: Got my Tokays back.

LOL he got me for sure, I'm a little out of practice and they're a little less handled. The male usually is pretty good...for a Tokay.

I know huh! You guys want a couple no problem, you pay shipping.

I usually give the babies away, it ain't worth competing with $5 WC's for the most part. I'll let you guys know when I have babies around. Donnie and Michelle are first on the list lol.

I think it was Morti that once told me that if Tokays were the size of Komodos they would be the only thing left on Earth.

I'd say 80% are out for the blood, 10% will bite readily and the last 10% are indifferent.

I like their coloration 1st, their hardiness 2nd and their attitude 3rd great little geckos for sure.
