Hey everyone. I was just wondering many questions. I am sorry if some questions have already been given an answer and for all the questions,

1. How many crickets do u feed at a time.
2. How often do you feed.
3. What kind of stuff do tokays like in their tank. ex. substrate leaves hiding
4. How can you tell how old it is.
5. When cleaning the cage how do you get it in and out. Pain Free
6. What should the temps be.
7. What would be a good book or website on the tokays
8. Any special light needed
9. Does it change colors
10. Why does it go poop in the same spot everytime
11. Are they supposed to bark? Larry does not
12. How to tell if male or female
13. How and is the tokay tameable

Well that are all my questions so far Thanks for answering them and Im sorry for all the questions

I don't keep Tokays and don't really know mass amounts about them but to answer what I can!

Feed as much as it will eat in 10 minutes

Tank wise a nicely decorated arboreal tank so branches, plants that offer coverage, a hide or 2, moist hide???

Geckos tend to poop in the same place - very good for us when it comes to cleaning!!

Tokays generally make a noise when they are threatened or angry - don't think it is a normal every day thing that they do.

You can't really get close enough to check for male or female lol as they are an aggressive species and very very few ever tame down.

Sorry I can't be more help than that but I hope I have gone some of the way

I was just reading through May's REPTILE magazine... there's an article about Tokays in it... You can probably find a copy at larger pet stores, Borders or Barnes & Noble's, or perhaps online.

Tokays should be kept in an enclosure of at least 20 gallons. They should be provided with plenty of branches and plants for climbing. The ambient temperature should be about 80 degrees Fahrenheit during the day with a warmer area about 90 degrees. At night the temperature should be in the low to mid 70s. They require moderately high humidity.

The Tokay Gecko can be fed insects such as crickets, grasshoppers, mealworms, and waxworms. Larger Tokays can be fed pinky or small fuzzy mice. The enclosure should be misted daily, preferably where there are leaves, so the Tokay Gecko can lick water off of the leaves. Some Tokays will not drink out of a water bowl.
