Hi everyone.
Just wanted to share a few pics of Houdini (my male Tokay, who got that name because he scaped twice already by me and once for two weeks by the importers house).

#1
When I brought him home in March


#2
A couple days ago




I'm still working on the Female, because she was A LOT skinnier (is that word right :P¿) than the male. She's doing fine. She started with a 29gr weight and today she is 37gr.
Hopefully will recover as good as the male. If so, I'll let you know with some pics too ...

You've done a great job. I see tokays like the one you got in march all the time at the pet store. Its great to see that you've taken such good care of it and helped him put all his weight back on. That tail is a huge difference! Good luck with the female!!

Very nice! Any tips on getting them to gain weight like that?

Just feed them a healthy steady diet and you will have no problem making one gain weight.

Thanks! I'm doing my best and I'am very happy with the results.
As Cliff said, just a healthy steady diet... at least with the male (that wasn't extremely skinny). When he was already eating and looking a little better, pinkies helped a lot.

Well done with the recovery. It's always nice to see a happy ending!

=)

Im the happiest, belive me.
Well, Houdini seems to be pretty happy too :P

What exactly is in this healthy steady diet?

[holocaustto]

In my case; Gut loaded or dusted Crickets every other day, mealworms once a week or so (the ones that look white, that means they recently shed) and pinkies 1 every two weeks or so (just on the "winning weight" period), I don't anymore, as not needed.
