    YESS!!! I’m planning on getting a tokay in the next couple years, so this was super helpful and informative. It’s so hard finding good care info for these guys since they’re not super common. 😍🙌🏻

    Hahahaha oh the memories of mine 10+ years ago. He was a mean lil bugger lol. They are fantastic and beautiful creatures. The one I had was wild caught and very large and aggressive. He did not like to be handled at all lol. Your cages look amazing as well as the lizards. You can definitely tell you love your animals and care for them. Keep up the great work and have a great day.

    I never had a pet tokay gecko but I've grown up with tokay geckos. I've seen them all the time on the walls of my grandparents' house where I grew up and nowadays even have a couple occasionally go in and out of my house during night. I'd seldom be surprised when I spot one near the light switch in the dark while trying to turn on the lights since I might accidentally grab one and their bite can easily draw blood.

      @@ReptileSmiles hello I have a question I have just taken one off the hands off a shitty caretaker and I was just curious on how strong they are like do I need to put a lot of pressure on the top of the tank? Do they try to escape tanks like is that a common thing? I don’t think mine has tried too but I’m very paranoid about waking up with my toe down a takoy geckos throat 😟😭😖

      I can already tell you're young, trust me don't get a tokay if you are. You don't bathe a bloody tokay gecko... These geckos are extremely aggressive, and can deliver a nasty bite. They will not be tame, no matter how much you want it. So please just get some guinea pigs or something, and if you really must have a reptile get a lepoard gecko.

    Pls do a video about lighting and heat. Led vs t5ho's vs heat lamps/basking areas.

      Oscar Martinez - They are cheap at exotic pet expos. I’ve seen them for $10-$15 dollars. They are probably wild caught though. I’m getting a couple next month. A guy I talked to there is breeding them, so I’m getting them from him.
