Hello all, It's been a while, since I last posted I have acquired 3 more Tokay and have started breeding two of the females. My question/concern is: One female, my first gecko Maya, laid her first eggs a couple of weeks ago! There were two,which I understand is normal. Tonight, I saw there...

I built a setup with ZooMed's Naturalistic Waterfall Kit a little over a year ago now...

About a month ago I noticed yellow appearing around the orange/ rust colored spots on my female gecko. She's about 3 years old. Is there potentially something wrong, or a vitamin deficiency or something? It's starting to be prevalent on her tail bands as well. The yellow was definitely not...

I have seen many posts on this forum recommending turning horizontal enclosures upright as an inexpensive way to give some height to the enclosure of an arboreal species. However, no one has explained how to do it well, and working through it in my head I can see a few problems coming up...

We were having a little fun with our female Tokay... We played a couple of YouTube clips of Tokay gecko calls. The first few she did not react to at all. When we played THIS one, she became very animated and was looking for the gecko like crazy. tokay calling - YouTube So, first off we felt...

We changed the position of her vine a little bit, and now she decided this is her favorite place to "sit" and watch us. I walk into this a lot, lol. it makes me smile.

I painted a Tokay plate at the local paint-your-own-pottery place. Thought I would share :) I like seeing my gecko on a plate lol, it makes me happy. And of course, my beautiful model:

The past 2 times I let my gecko loose in the house, for a few days she was absolutely gone. No trace. Waited patiently, and she would always turn up walking around on the walls. Her hides would change occasionally, but they would all be between something and a wall. Fridge and the wall...

Sorry, that is the best that I can describe it... I noticed my 2 y.o. Tokay had some black areas on her toepads, and upon closer inspection it looks like some of the ribby fingerprints are completely missing :shock: what should I do? She sticks to things just fine, even upside down. The last...

I have had my Tokay for over a year now, I got her when she was supposed to be 6-8 months. This is the only reptile I have ever had, so I would love to know what more experienced reptile keepers think of her condition. I am especially wondering about her weight, I pore over all the threads...

I would love to know if you guys think this is a male or a female... finally feel like the gecko is old enough to age after I owned it six months! can't wait to finally find out and pick a name already lol.

My Tokay knows how the door of his tank opens. but of course, it's locked in such a way that he can't open it from the inside. He tries to open it by force, by flinging himself nose-first into the glass door. Of course this makes me extremely sad. I know that no terrarium, no matter how...

They had a gecko exhibit at the Museum of Science in Boston MA. So of course we had to go. This was the first time I've seen most of these in person, but I'm sure a lot of you have seen/ maybe owned all of these! The enclosures were quite nice, but I still have mad respect for these geckos...

The tiny tip of the tail on my Tokay is now gone. You can see the pink flesh where the tip detached. The very end of the tail had been looking very dull and lifeless for about 2 months now. So.... what happened? I'm totally at a loss. He is housed alone. Do geckos get behavior disorders...

I have had my Tokay for exactly 3 months now. It is my first reptile and I love it. There is so much to learn and I am trying to soak up as much as I can on this forum. This gecko is supposed to be about 9 months old now according to the previous owner who bought it at Petco. When I got...

I'm glad I've been cleaning the water dish everyday, because I finally spotted my Tokay lapping water from it. He was doing it off and on for like 10 minutes last night. I got a video but it is super grainy and crappy. Has anyone else seen their Tokay do this? well if you haven't, it is...

I tried searching a lot but couldn't find what I needed on a couple points. This is my first reptile so I have never dealt with shedding before and I don't want the poor guy to have problems. I know for shedding they need a humid environment, my tank is usually anywhere between 30-70% during...

We went to pick up a "baby Tokay gecko" that we found on Craigslist. Turns out it is 6-8 months old- so still young, but no longer the right size for the 10 gal tank the person said was included. The owner lived in a house where the whole family smoked IN the house, the tank itself is just...

My boyfriend and I have done a lot of research and REALLY want a Tokay gecko. I have watched videos of the call (which is very cute btw), and searched through forums enough to know that they are "loud". But "loud" is very relative of course.. We aren't worried about the noise for ourselves...
