They get paler, but they don't glow in the dark. As stated, maybe under a blacklight though. After all, white stuff usually fluoresces under a blacklight, and tokays turn pale at night. If I had a tokay I'd try it.

Too bad I sold my Tokays...they were the spawn of satan, and I was just looking to save them from petco long enough to feed them and then ship them out.

Well I see Tokays on your pet list, maybe you should whip out the black light for us and find out. Enquiring minds want to know! (or atleast they wanted to know a couple of months ago, they may have forgotten by now)
