Default The Rescued Tokay

This guy was brought to me after being rescued at the Tuscon Reptile show and he was in terrible shape. He was super skinny, dehydrated and covered in bite wounds. Well I am amazed the gecko lived past the 1st week and now it is time to show him off.









If you look close you can see some scars here and there. He is actually cool with being handled for some reason, this guy doesn't even gape. I am happy to see him so well recovered

Glad to hear he is doing so well! He probably knows that you saved him from a fate unknown and is very thankful for all the care you have given him.

Looking good man. It's amazing how quickly these guys can turn around when given the proper care.

It is amazing how Tokays can bounce back from deaths door. They are such a resilient species.

I think I need some nice Bamboo tubes for him

I have no other tokays. I have rehabbed and rehomed a few over the years, but never actually kept one for myself.
