I've got the new viv being built, humidity has been increased to 80% in the current setup. I know my Tokay is eating, I clean poop up every day, but I need to fatten mine up. I have read up on what to feed them and pinky mice was one of the more fattening meal items. I tried to get my today to take a pinky today with no success. Is there a trick to getting them to eat it?

Just luck. How skinny is she?
Probably patience & crickets are good enough.

Get her used to you so that you can sit her on your hand or arm without bolting. Once you get her to that point you can take a frozen thawed small pink and dangle it at the tip of her nose. She will usually open her mouth in defense. Next slide it half way into her mouth. This is usually met with a defensive bite. Almost every single time I have done this they take it down and don't spit it out.
If your not going to handle and want something else to feed her that will bulk her up try superworms or Dubia roaches. These insects tend to really put the chunk on my geckos. As mentioned before also by holocaustto crickets will do the ticket.

She is waaaaaaaaay to thin, if that makes sense. If I could get the camera out of my girlfriends purse I would take a picture. She is very thin, but not so much her bones are showing through. I should be getting a scale in the next few days when I get some more $, so I do not have a way to weigh her as of now. She seems healthy, she is eating and drinking and pooping but still looks very thin. I've got her on crckets and superworms yesterday but when I offered a tiny pinky yesterday she didn't want to do anything with it but bite it.

Skinny Tokay evolution: 2nd part

Take a look al that..
It was only circkets, mealworms and a pair of pinkies. No stressing it out at all! Just letting it alone and comfortable.

Mines not quite as skinny as the one in the first pic of that thread, but I definetly want to get her to a healthy weight. Thanks for the info

So, I'll stay with my first recommendation. Crix, some mealworms and maybe an eventual pinky.
