Fantastic pics Derek, and that is certainly some attitude lol

That is one beautiful animal. Is she a recent pick-up, or is that her usual attitude?

Derek,
Great pictures. They are impressive when exhibit their defensive posture.

I can't get mine angry enough to display like this. They are some of the sweetest geckos I've ever known. Is it your camera? Seriously. I've seen these pics and don't get it..

Ah, I'll leave that up to the tokays. I can't tell you how much I love getting a nice rough kiss from a big baby blue gecko.

Mine never displayed any agressiveness. They ar however subadult, I do not know if it more common for adults to show his behavior.

 

[DDReptiles]

Most of mine are not aggressive at all, and this was the first time this guy (its usually the males that do it) flared up. All I did to initiate it was move the bamboo pole he was sleeping on and he just went off.

Ok. I've gotten some tail waiving during the day when I had to wake them, just never the gaping mouth. It's just hard to imagine them getting so fiesty.

... and must have stayed that way for a little while, unless you had your camera ready when he did it? It's so interesting to see anything posted about these geckos besides pictures of them stuck to logs. From what I've seen of mine, they are some of the coolest animals I've ever seen. And I don't just mean their camoflauge, I mean the way they move and act too.

Well he cooled off while I went to get the camera (less than a minute), then I simply moved the stick again once I had the camera ready and he perked back up again.

Beautiful animal! You're gonna have to hook me up with some babies this year. I'd love to work with these guys.
