So while feeding my snake one night a few weeks ago i decided to thaw out a pinkie for my adult Tokay as well as i have heard they will eat them. After looking at it for a few mins she gobbled it down. I have fed her a couple more since then when ever my snake has being picky and refusing to eat. I no this is not good for leopards unless there going to be breeding, but is only to feed pinkies to Tokays more often?

Pinkies are very high in fat and don't have much of any other nutritional value. So they really aren't a very good source of food for geckos. It's ok for an occasional treat or to fatten up a skinny animal. But that's about it.

thats what i was thinking is that there junk food for her. oh well, sure one every once in a while if im low on gecko food wont hurt.

yes that wont hurt. You just dont want to make it a big part of the diet. I feed mine pinky on occasion.
