As most of us know, Tokays are collected for various reasons, most notably Chinese medicine. This is something that interests me in a few ways but mostly from a cultural standpoint. Having seen first hand the way people think of animals in Cambodia I can see how such practices are acceptable...

Nope. Got one from my nose though when I can find it... In the mean time, Here's one of a friend of mine attempting what I did...

It has mostly been said that TSD is not possible in Tokay Geckos however I have never actually seen any evidence for or against. As most Tokays are left in situ there isn't much evidence to suggest otherwise. That being said I have heard of several people selling Tokays as "should be...

I'm interested to find out how people keep their pairs of Tokays in regards to how long they are housed together. How many of you keep them together all year round? Personally I tend to leave the male in for the duration of the egg laying and then pull him shortly after. Sometimes I'll keep a...

Found this absolutely ridiculous website trying to flog a "book" about the "secrets" of keeping tokay geckos... Tokay Gecko Lizard Care Information It's full of all sorts of silly statistics and is trying far too hard to sell itself. I think if I was writing a book about Tokays, the cover...

I am getting an increasing amount of e.mails every week from people looking to sell their Tokays and even asking for advice on how to make them heavier and where to sell them. It's getting worrying as I would have expected this problem to decrease as the myth of them being a miracle cure...

Ello people. In my collection I have several BHG's and an Olive. I recently paired up my Olive to a normal and had successful breeding and hatching of 2 eggs so far. Both hatchlings are normals. I have heard different reports on what type of morph the olives etc are. Some people have said...

MASSIVE congrats Bowie!

So I picked up 5 Tokays from Hamm this weekend. 2 of them were from America (Morgan) that I've been waiting since March to be able to import them (Thanks for holding on to them!). First up... Powder Blue male. Lighter colours are pure patternless light blue/grey. I have a visual female and...

I just checked on my lot and noticed my Calico male was "different". I thought I must be imagining things so I took a picture and compared to an older one. Every single Calico I've sene has shown a reduction in pigment however this (I believe) has happened overnight... Before... And just...

Found this link after I saw a few people talking about the possibility of Tokays being put on the CITES list... Calls for tokay gecko to be brought under CITES treaty | Wildlife News Any thoughts?

Nice one Morgan. What colour are her eyes? and have they changed at all?

My Dad lives in Cambodia and has a few Tokays (as well as other "things") knocking about in his house. He said he was woken up at 2am this morning by his OH to come and see a Tokay having a wee lick on some Mango Jam. For some reason they go mad for the stuff! He's also starting to see a few...

I launched my website a while back but haven't posted it on here yet. Any UK forum visitors will know that you get shot down in flames for anything and everything so I've always been a bit reluctant to post! Although I know this forum is predominantly US based and husbandry techniques may...

I bought a few Smithii from Hamm. 2 from Ingo, 2 from Green Eyed Gecko and one that was on a table (though't long and hard before going back and buying her!). First up is "Big Bertha". Catching her was....fun. image image image image Here's the Breeding pair. The male was in shed so no...
