Teeka is doing GREAT! Very Active & Eating well, She wouldn't take a roach from me, but she LOVES Her crickets! 
I will be moving her into a bigger tank soon! right now she's in Quarantine in a large Critter Keeper! But she seems to like it in there, haha, lots of places to hide and climb! I've been dusting her crickets, so hopefully that helps her out some!
I can open her cage and do whatever i want, without her even going crazy or making a peep! So i'll post new pictures once i have her in her new tank! |

I've just got a new tokay but i am getting very different opinions on feeding regimes and when to dust. My new tokay is doing fine and ate five dusted crickets las night but should I dust them every feeding or every other feeding? and should I feed it everyday or every other day. Also I've got the temps at about 78f and drop to about 66f at night. he also has a light which he shares with the tree frog viv. reply as soon as possible. and criticise if needs be. I should have posted this on another thread but I thought i would like to post on this thread because people on here are in the same position as I am. by the way this is a 3' juvenile tokay. Any help appreciated

With a juvenile you should dust every feeding, tokays grow fast and they need calcium for strong bones/nervous system. Also, if you don't use UVB lighting make sure you use a suppliment that contains Vitamin D3. I feed my hatchling to subadult(about 7 inches) every day as much as they will eat in about 15 min. Tokays are good eaters, they can really pound the crickets/roaches.
Your temps are a bit low, tokays should be in the low 80's during the day with a 85-90F hot spot. 66F at night isn't too horrible, but I'd like to see low 70's instead. If the temps too low tokays can't thermoregulate and digest their food properly, especially young animals. Also, higher temps usually equal a faster growth rate.
Once your animal is adult you can switch to an ever other day feeding schedual or something similar.(I feed my adults 5 days a week, sometimes more for breeding females to maintain weight)
Hope this helps.

Sounds perfect. Just wait until he grows up, my adults can easily eat 10-20 crickets each per feeding.
