Hey, Happy New Year to you. My gut load mix includes Paprika for Vitamin A. I also include carrot and dandelion greens for their moisture and other vitamins and nutrients. Plant based is always more assimilatable that manufactured supplements. Speaking of which, Dr. Scott Stahl, the...

I'm wondering how he's doing now. I too suspect a broken jaw, something that happens a lot with Tokay, especially wild caught ones. The jaw muscles are actually stronger than the lower mandible which can be very thin. Some can heal back to some extent. Most end up being put down. I...

Red Devils indeed!

December Reptile Magazine features Tokay; lots of great morph photos too. :biggrin:It's been 5 years since the last time Tokay were featured in Reptile Magazine. Pick up a copy soon! The online portion speaks to Tokay Genetics and other good information. Enjoy! Michael's Tokay Hoard

This low white (Progressive) Pied reminded me of your Granite/pied above.

We've seen Tokay with different eyes before and they all seem to have been effected by Trauma and not genetic markers. The closest to different eyes has been observed in "Snake eyed" Tokay where the white is different in each eye. In the example here, the white is in a different place within...

You mean like this Chuckie, ops I mean Sauromalus obesus? ;-);-);-)

Here is another pair of pied Tokay. They to only produced normal looking offspring. Again the male is first and his mate is pictured second: Here is one of the F-1 Het males that we bred back to his mother: This pairing produced a Blue Granite. He is not fired up in this photo but...

Well Tokay can suffer from metabolic bone disease too. Also, I'll mention this here since it can be an issue with malnourished Tokay. Don't let them have the opportunity to bite down hard on anything. Tokay jaw muscles can be much stronger than their frail bones from lack of good nutrition...

Hello Tokay keepers, I just sent an email to someone looking for morph pairs and I wrote this: "I don't really have any I'm willing to sell right now. No one has imported any morphs in any quantity in a couple of years now so there are no additional female morphs around. To add to this, most...

Thanks for the update. I beleive this product is meant for true carnivores, like monitors, and not really formulated for insectivores like Tokay. ___________________________________________________ Not to belabor one of the previous points too much, but this is a great example of how a reader...

I've got another Calico visual that is turning over time. It looks very much like a Granite that is white with gray spots. (I believe Ethan has produced one of these the same way.) This young Tokay is the product of line breeding the oldest normal looking F-1 male back to the original wild...

Well I have some more great news from the Tokay Hoard. As many of you may know, I've had over a dozen pair of various Calico/Pied wild caught Tokay. So far to date, the resulting offspring have been almost all normal looking. The one visual came from a pairing of the girl I use for my...

She appears to have hatched all white. I did not see her as a newborn but when I did, she was way too young to have turned so soon. Actually she is still too young to have completely turned, compared to the 'progressive' pied animals we have produced. She would be just starting about now and...

And now for some more new cool stuff!!!!! I paired an awesome traditional looking wild caught Pied Male #1 to a more Calico looking Pied Female and they threw 5 normal looking offspring. Not surprising. But then the last one popped out looking like this. Ta DA!!!!!! Here is the Pied...

So here is a continuation of the previous post. Pictured here is the F-1 Super Red Male #2, his mate, a wild caught Calico w/yellow and one of the F-2 offspring. The question is whether the offspring will be a High Red/Co-dom visual form of the male, or look just like him. Only time will tell.

Both sexes have the dimples/pours but only males have the waxy extrusion coming out of the pours. You can run your fingertip over the V going from the tail moving up toward the belly. If you feel any sticky stuff over the V, It's a male. If it's smooth, It's a female. This is all assuming it's...

You can go to Home Depot and purchase a couple of cheap slate floor tiles ($5) and lean them up against the back and side of the tank. Or, a foot long piece of 2" PVC pipe from Home Depot to lean up vertically in the back corner of the tank. (There are several good suggestions archived in this...

Yes, your juvenile Tokay may still be too young to be 100% positive. Animals under 7 months are still tough to correctly sex. Both sexes have the dimples/pours but only males have the waxy extrusion coming out of the pours which I might have seen in the first photo, but it's not clear. You...

OK, so a friend of mine had a handful of fresh, but very skinny imported Tokay get loose just outside his building last spring. So periodically over the summer, they would find a fat & happy Tokay hunting around the lights and recapture it. It seems one of them had taken up residence under...
