who owns a tokay!
I was thinking about buying one or two. All i klnow about them is that i need to give them water from ice cubes on a screen top going to plants. But i need to know everything else. sorry for being a burden if i am but. I need to know the substrate, tank size, hides, food, temp and humidity and everything else ya know... I hear they were aggressive which i enjoy! even when they bite me! does this mean theyll snap at food much faster then some otehr herps because they are aggressive or soemthing?
And what about giant day geckos? same thing from above id like to know.

Hey, here's some pics of my Tokays- we've been keeping and breeding them for a while now, the male in particular we've had for around 5/6 years, and he's fathered several babies. The dad is very huge you would not want to get bit by him. I like to think of Tokay's as the "tropical fish" of the gecko world-Not great when handled lol! Wonderful, fascinating creatures, an excellent addition to anyones collection, in my opinion.
Hope you Enjoy, Allison.
