Awsome! How big are they? I have a 13 inch male and a 9 inch female.

Crap! I have wanted a Tokay for so long! Your pictures are making me jealous. They are easily one of the best looking geckos in the world IMHO. And such attitude!!!!

How many crickets/food items do yours eat per week?

Tokays eat about 6-8 crickets per day!! So they eat quite a bit, but they are kool as all get out!!! We just picked up a pair yesterday. I do have one Question though, how do you tell, male and female?

[JeffT]

I feed mine one hopper a week, 20 crix (each) every 3 days.

[Colonel SB]

Males have a pair of hemipenal bludges after the vent were females do not, males also have preanal pores.

[eViL_KaRoT]

Do you happen to have any pictures? I have an idea, but pictures would definantly help me tell.

[Tim and Julie B]

Mine have pores but no bulges. Males or females? Don't females have smaller pores as well? I bought another one this weekend and they are calling each other all morning.

I just got my tokay's this saturday at a reptile swap near Chicago. The only time I've heard mine bark is when I was getting one out of the dish at the show and he/she bit me and was growling at me. But since then, not a peep. Could they just be stressed from the move, I mean they not only got carried around for an hour at the show, they also had a 5 hour car ride home. Or could it be something else?

[Colonel SB]

With the buldges the males have to be sexually mature, there is an excellent book on takys by AVS you should pick it up I don't have pics of thier sex organs sorry. As for feeding they get crickets, giant meal worms, pinky mice and on occasion wax worms.

[GekkoGeck0]

Only the males call, the females don't call at all.

Give them time, it may be stress as well. But if you don't hear them call within a month, you most likely have females.

[eViL_KaRoT]

So the females don't bark at all!!! That's kind of disappointing. I'll have to get a male if I find that I have two females!!
