Hello,

So, I have a male Crested Gecko and have had him for about a week. I TOTALLY fell in love with him and found an interest in geckos all together. A couple of hours ago I rescued 2 Tokay Geckos from someone who was not able to care for them anymore. They are all doing great and I am not having problems with any of them so far.

Ok, since I have brought my Tokays home I have been hearing this high pitched whistle non-stop. It's the cutest thing EVER and I love it. I just don't know who it is! I had never heard Ace (my crestie) make any noises at all and assume the Tokays are doing it. It does sound like it's coming from Ace though... It's really hard to pin point it. Is this normal and why do they do it?

Oh and I just thought of something. The 2 Tokays are thin and I think they should be a little plumper. I don't see any bones sticking out or anything they are just thin. I fed them 10 large crickets but only saw one eating. The other was too pissed at me because I accidentally touched her with a paper towel while cleaning out their terrarium... Bad temper, lol! What should I feed them and how often? I also want to brighten their colors, is it possible? Certain diet or lighting?

You don't have the tokays housed with the crested gecko do you? If so, your crested is bound to soon become a snack for the tokay. Also, the tokays should be taken to the vet to have their feces checked for internal parasites. They can be fed crickets, roaches, some mealworms, etc. Tokays will eat pretty much anything living that you put in with them. Their colors will lighten as they become less stressed.
