Hi! A few days before my birthday my dad got me a lizard in replacement for my dog dying, and as I know it IS a tokay gecko, I have a few questions about it. I am pretty sure that it's a male, the guy I got it from was completely horrible and didn't even have substrate / heating AT all. I went to my local petsmart and apparently the reptile guy has never heard of such gecko and has no idea what to tell me. uwu; anyways! My gecko is very agitated because my dad is dumb and decides to pick him up and hold him for 3 straight hours, he didn't eat for a week. I finally got him to eat 7 crickets. I dusted half of them on calcium because I wasn't sure how he'd take it as he's never had anything like that before. I named him Spyro, I didn't see the name "grumpy" fit. My dad also got bit too. Right now I have him in a 30 gallon tank with coconut husk substrate, a heat rock, a piece of wood, soaking dish and a infrared uv lamp. I have some pictures and he looks mighty happy. More than he was before. Anyways I noticed that on his tail he was shedding? And he hasnt been eating either. A few days ago he crawled into his rock and stayed there with his tail hanging out one of the holes. Today he came out. But when he was in the rock he didn't even bark or growl or anything when I put in some crickets like normally. What's up?
