A friend indeed

very nice!
But: (it was comming)
you should make sure that people seeing this pic realise that this probably took some time. Reaching into a strange tokay tank and pulling one out (especially this big) would end in lots of blood and stitches!!
Sorry, but you knew it was comming

Very nice gecko, though. congrats on the wonderful friend you have there!

I suppose many would assume it took work as I did not write much about the photo (my bad) This one actually unfortunately came from a large group of wild caught adults and was suprisingly friendly right off the bat. I agree I would not myself reccommend picking up any animals I didn't know, as can often end up an unpleasant experience for both you and them. Perhaps I should have been more clear...by stating "breaking the sterotypes" I meant she had broken my sterotypes of tokays, as I had always assumed prior that they were agressive unless REALLY worked with.

very nice looking tokay,I just got two of them myself a couple days ago.but they want no part of me holding them.lol I hope mine grow up to look as nice as that, in fact mine are pretty scrowny, got them from a pet store thats probly,but i felt bad for them in the little ten gal. tank they had them in so i had a 50 gal and decided they would be better off with me, any advice on beefing mine up and calming them down a bit, ill try to post a pic soon, thanks

I love your tokay... I only got interested in them a little while ago and then a week ago I saw one in a shop which made me want it so bad, I even redisigned my whole stack unit which is being built in the next few weeks to accomodate said tokay... I just really wanna get it out of that shop because the condtions there are disgusting and letting it stay there would just be cruel... I'd obviously like to take all the lil critters there but the tokay just kinda stood out for me.

Very nice picture, if only all Tokays were so friendly hehe

I got that tokay I mentioned in my last post, (brought him home today) and his not a particulalry active lil fella, but then again hes gotta get used to things, hope he livens up.... looks almost identical to your lil beauty...

Named him Arnie (after the equally butch mr terminator hehehehe). I'd love it if you could email me any tips etc. which may not have been in care sheets if you get him :D

I just got my first Tokay and shes only about 6" long now so I can just grab a hold of her to get her out for handling. I find she only acts aggressive when I'm trying to get her out of the tank and after that she never opens her mouth once.
