Yeah, I get the idea lol
How long have they all been together?

I once had a Golden Gecko that laid an egg. It didn't hatch, but I was damn proud of that egg lol

Nice Tokay...I love Tokays but I don't know all that much about them except that they can be very aggressive. Hey, just curious...When they bite, how hard do they bite if they bite you bare skinned? Thanks. -Camo19

Tokays should be used for negative reinforcement therapy. I can assure you that you will not make the same mistake twice lol They can draw blood, probably cause some bruising if they get you good enough in the right spot like your pinkie finger. Problem is that they let go when they want to let go. The tokay in the pic was holding on for 10 mins before we snapped the pic. He let go about 5 mins after. lol

i've let my cousin hold my wild cought tokay and he moved his finger and the tokay locked on he moves his hand to try to get the tokay off and it was just biting harder when it finally did let go (18 mins later) he needed stitches not alot maybe ony 4

LOL no prob. Looking at the posts brings to mind a favorite Simpsons episode of mine. Lisa compares Bart to her hamster in a set of experiments. Bart keeps grabbing the cupcake and getting shocked. He keeps it up! If a hamster got bitten by a tokay, he'd never go near one again but here I am getting bitten all these times and I keep going back for more lol Does a reptile enthusiast ever learn??? I guess not! LOL (I also have scars from a certain deceased basilisk of mine)
