right i have a 7ft tall 2ft wide 2ft deep stand up viv i worked it out in US gallons for you and its 200g,, basicly it has loads of cover in it and fake plants so they could climb right to the top on the plants if they wanted or just use the wall lol, i have my chinese water dragon in it at the moment but once he has been sold this week i want to clean it up and put some of my tokays in there all oppions welcome as to the number of tokays etc..

Here's my two cents. generally from what I've heard from experts, Tokays are most comfortable when they pair up with each other (for life), so only a male and a female would be the best option. but many many people keep more than one female to a single male. I'll let some other people chime in who are more knowledgeable, but i have a feeling they're going to say only 2. Thats a huge cage too, do you have a picture?

see my origional plan was to have 1 male and 4 females in there for life but after joining this forum and reading alot i did think this was the answer i was going to get and i can see were you are coming from know it would be ashame just to waste all that space on a pair really more oppions welcome please picture will be coming up in 2mins mate

i know exactly what you mean. I would love to have a viv that big. and only two tokays would seem like a waste. Im sure that in a viv that large 4 or 5 Tokays would be fine. everything ive read(off this forum) says to go ahead because only the males are aggressive toward each other. But, from people on this forum who have kept many tokays over a long period of time will most the time say that they work best in pairs, and i trust the people here, because all of this information is based purely on personal experience from very caring people. I saw your pictures of the two you are sexing, but i want to see some more of the tokays, and especially the enclosure

[Riverside Reptiles]

Personally, if I were trying to set up an enclosure of that size, I'd pick a gecko that prefers a more social set up than tokays. You could certainly do 1.4 crested geckos or something along those lines if you really want to have a bunch of geckos.

However, 1.1 tokays would be super happy campers in a set up like that. There's really no such thing as too much space. And with that kind of space, you could add some neat features that you perhaps couldn't fit in something smaller (ie a cool water feature). You could probably also get away with some additional animals in an enclosure that large (although I'm not a big fan of mixed species enclosures). You would have to do some serious research on what else would be appropriate though.

Amazing! Thanks for Sharing! The viv is huge and very nice! You made that right? It looks great. Nice Tokays and snakes! I know nothing about keeping snakes, but those are enormous! What did you feed those?

Oh and what Riverside said about other inhabitants, these are from about the same area (vietnam), may be too small though- http://tiny.cc/mossy
