Hey all, Just wondering if anyone has experience tameing these evil finger munching lizards they call tokays (aka devil lizards)?

Thanks in advance!

Re: Devil Lizard

I have heard of a couple of success stories, but for the most part - they remain "evil finger munching lizards"...

Re: Devil Lizard

The only people I have heard about were situations of raising captive bred babies, and even then they weren't very "friendly".
Just slightly more tolerant.

Re: Devil Lizard

Tokays are awesome looking. I think I may get some later this year, but I am not sure as of yet. Yeah they are evil, but are very nice looking.

Re: Devil Lizard

Re: Devil Lizard

I loved my tokays but they screamed like cats in heat and destroyed my ability to sleep through the night so they had to be rehomed. They are cool little lizards but I couldn't share a room with them.
(The bit like pitbulls and were escape artists too)

Re: Devil Lizard

The boyfriend bought it at petco yesterday... Long story made short we had a heart to heart and I mentioned my kids are growing up to fast, and something about loving babies, and if we get married, Id like to adopt from over seas or have another baby... My mistake; Sending him to petco to get frozen rats... (he did get them tho lol) And we decided on a name... Chomper lol how fitting....
