New addition :d

Haha after years of not having a Tokay ive finally GOT ONE! :biggrin: unfortunately she is WC, i got her from one of the local pet store ALLIGATOR ALLEY and was the healthiest one i saw (this is my fave herp store) she is currently in a horizontal 20 gallon tub but will be getting a bigger viv hopefully within the next month, so for this time being im am going to get rid of the mites i assume she has since she is imported ( i havnt seen any but you know how that goes, none the less im treating her) and will later on house her with a male which i still am longing to get, anyways i really dont have any good pictures since she has the good ole fashioned (defensive) Tokay charm :lol: ive had her for 2 days now and she has only eaten 2 crickets but i also know how this goes and am giving her time to settle in but here she is!

and by the way that is not tape she is holding onto it is on the outside of the container so she wouldnt freak out on the car ride home and that is only the container i brought her in

And her tokay charm :biggrin:

this pic was as i was moving her from the caring container to the setup.

Yep i had to put a mitten on cause she bit me multiple times and tore my skin as well :shock: but its all good im sure if was about to be grabbed too i would bite lol (especially by a mitten) but i LOVE HER she surprisingly is out a lot, also i am assuming she is still young im estimating 10 months to a year, she is 7-8 inches long and is kinda thin but is still healthy i will fatten her up in no time (not seriously i dont want an obese GECKO) but there ya go SHE IS GORGEOUS hope yall like her too.

I will post more pics soon, whenever i get some good ones.

Nice mitten!

 

[NathanSoto]

Nice mitten!

Hahaha Thanks i guess, she was a pretty feisty little tokay and i really didnt feel like getting bit again, well you know how that goes.


hahahaha mitten...i cant believe i actually used a mitten...

but i can actually pick her up without it now, she just hisses and barks when i grab her.

 

[tokeh]

it was a nice white one with nice colors:crackup:
if you used a grey one we wouldn't see your tokay at all:rofl:
i've never had mine in my hands but when i have i also would were something

 

[NathanSoto]

Hahaha :rofl: you guys just made me hate that mitten :rofl:

and Tokays are a wonder to hold, and i find them fairly easy to tame too.

 

[tokeh]

i've never tried to tame them yet but i'm planning on as soon as i have juveniles but then she has to become pregnant first.:roll:

haha juvies are definitely easier to tame, but adults arent too hard either it just takes a while, and maybe a few scars...

HA! I love your choice of tokay handling gloves!! A mouth full of fuzz is enough to deter even the angriest of tokays!

I use gardening gloves, they work great! I've been bitten pretty hard by some foster tokays, and the gloves worked fantastically.

GOD! THANK YOU! hahaha finally 1 person THAT LIKES MY MITTENS hahaha :rofl:

And gloves work good and the bites definitely hurt but YOU GOTTA LOVE THEM!:biggrin:

i dont think ive even ever gotten mad at one of them for bitting me (well maybe for a second) but they are sooooo...pretty and cool im just like its okay little TOKAY...more like 11 inch Tokay. :rofl:

@Emily
can you show me picture of these gloves?
it sounds better than those big welding gloves some uses.

@NathanSoto
if someone would try to crab me i would also bite:fight:
they are just amazing gecko's

Hey tokeh, you can see a picture of the gloves in the thread where I posted pictures of Oliver. I can't seem to find them online. I'll try to remember to look @ the brand when I get home. They are made by a company that makes work gloves, so they're kind of heavy-duty. Leather & nylon, I think.

Hehe well i got another one yesterday, i got it from a different pet store and i saw that they randomly had a reptile cage in the fish section of the store and it happened to be a Tokay and it was housed in poor condition (a 20 gallon long, with no humidity provided, and repti-bark as the substrate, and an extremely bright repti-sun light for heat) so i picked it up, sexed it, found out it was a HE, and took Him home haha yeah...here he is :biggrin:. Im unsure of his age though im assuming 8-10 months due to his size.

Haha well i got a lot of FUZZ on my GLOVE NOT MITTEN cause he escaped from me and ran under our couch and had to reach under to grab him.

I love the orange/red stripes on his tail

His TOKAY CHARM

Hes also housed in a separate 20 gallon tub set on end, with plenty of hides and good heat and moisture but yeah hope you like him TOO:biggrin:.

 

[tokeh]

it's a verry nice juve you got there.

 

[NathanSoto]

Thanks :biggrin:
