    New Tokay concerns

    You could just block the small area near the top where he likes to hangout and leave the rest open. Hiding up on the glass is much better than in the dirt. I use roofing slate to lean up against the glass and then lean the bark against that. Then I'll hang plants all around that. The gap...

    Tokay gecko from wild, im beginner!

    Hello, First off, lets get them separated before they kill each other. And then lets get them sexed. Second, as it has been mentioned, giving them vertical hides in between layers of slate, bark, etc. will give them a safe place to hang out. Third, welcome to the forums. You will find that...

    Tokay gecko

    Tokay like the space between vertical pieces of slate/cork bark/glass, etc. As shown in the picture here, using slate leaning against the side of the glass with a cork bark slag leaning against that creates a 'nesting/hiding' place where they can still see out, (and you in) yet feel secure...

    Rescued Tokay!?

    Ox Bow food: $19 per bag, two bags over 4 months. Meds: About $30 or $40 Vet visit: $60 Pricing varies a lot from place to place on all of this. My Tokay went through 4 hours of surgery because of complications in setting a pin in her very fragile lower jaw. I don't know how bad yours is or...

    Tokay jaw

    Is she in with a male? Sometimes big males can be 'heavy handed' with small females when grasping on while mating. :fight: The photos are really fuzzy so it's hard to tell what you have but a trip to the vet is usually the next step. Broken jaws are difficult to impossible to set but...

    First Tokay

    Thank you for your kind words. Tokay food needs to move to be eaten. Most worms are rarely taken, if at all. Try them in a dish up against the glass near the back. Gut loaded and dusted crickets and roaches, fast moving ones work best. I prefer Rusty Reds, Blatta laterals over Dubia roaches...

    Hot tub to pond conversion

    I converted an old hot tub to a side yard pond a couple of weeks ago. We have a growing group of Bufo americanus or common American Toads hopping about the garden, yard and side patio. They seem to like to hunt under the patio light at night and will wait for my loose feeder crickets to pass...

    Angry Geckos!

    So yes, I agree with the monitor observations, I'm just the guy who brings the food. And since I separate my Blue Niles for rodent feeding, the male is lickiddy-split onto my arm to be carted to his feeding den. The Tokay are similar. The males seem less and less afraid over time and both...

    Gekko smithi, The Green Eyed Gecko

    Well I did get 10 pair in earlier this year because I could not find any Gekko smithi in the US accept for a couple of males. One of which I've had for a couple of years. Yeah, I've been looking to establish a breeding group for almost 3 years with standing orders with a couple of importers...

    Updated photos of my tokay geckos.

    Nice pair. I'm not sure how the left side of the enclosure looked, but I'd suggest leaning a cork bark slab up against that slate piece on the right. The bark should be a bit taller and spaced about an inch or two from the slate. This creates a nesting sight for egg laying and 'brooding'...

    Outer Banks, NC

    I was looking for legless lizards and King Snakes North of Carolla and walked up on this beautiful (girl?) just after a morning rain. She had obviously just shed and looked great. One problem, I was bare foot without a hook and two hours drive from any medical facility so I thought better of...

    tokay at national zoo

    So yeah, I live 15 minutes from the National Zoo and visit 3 or 4 times a year. I also try to visit other reptile exhibits at other zoos across the country when I travel. The National Zoo has spent a fortune upgrading several areas of the zoo but the reptile house is no longer the cutting edge...

    Tokay female laid her first clutch of eggs, what now?

    Hello, I'd love to see photos of the set-up. Having lots of space with branches and plants is not the same as creating a good nesting area. They really like the space between layers of vertical slabs. Like slate and cork bark. From your description, she may have found the only protected...
