Corral Tokay Gecko Pair for Move

[shamilt1]

I do not handle my gecko's and just enjoy watching them. I can open enclosure and clean, mist and the male does not seem to mind. Female is sporadic. Sometimes she minds, somethimes not.

How do you guys corral them for either a move or a change in enclosures. No rush, as I have no plans to do so anytime soon, but it is eventually going to happen. Wanted to know the methods used that are the least stressful for both me and the tokes. Thanks.

I have only done this a few times, but it seems the easiest thing that I tried was to remove all the hides except one tubular hide the day before. then the next morning, carefully close off either end and move them inside the hide.

or, put on gloves and just grab them. this is kind of stressful for all parties involved, but it works and it's fast.

I second the tubular hide method. It's the least invasive, and definitely less risky move. I don't like grabbing geckos, even hardy ones like Tokay can be injured far too easily.
