Lmao I laughed more than I should have!

I think the barking sound is actually Gek-ko which is where the term gecko came from. It definitely sounds like gecko.

Idk Tokay gecko barks always sounded like "To-Kay" to me. I was always told that's how they got the name tokay.

I wish we could have seen him with his non regen tail, still a monster for sure.

Edit: quick google search suggests that's where they get the name tokay from.

Wikipedia says it was the origin of both, haha, who knows. Either way the call is really cool. I got some nice pics last night, one is light green, and two are light blue when they "fire up" . I'll post em in a bit.

I guess the only way to decide which sound it is would be to but your ear right up at his face and poke him with a stick.lol.

Awesome cant wait to see them, I love tokays. They so cool looking.

Really can't wait for pics of the other too.

From Right to left, Male , female, female. One of the females is actually baby blue like the male, but she looks green in the pic. The other female is a very light green.

Heres a video transferring the two juvies from the parents above to a display enclosure. Looks gross in the tub because I had to get them out of the cork, and then flush out the inside to see how many stupid crickets are hiding in there. Not using cork with them anymore, too hard to monitor what they are eating.
