Let other people have cats and dogs! Jungle Bob is here to show you that owning a pet reptile or amphibian is not as complicated as you might think. In this video, he shares five tips about caring for a tokay gecko.
We see Tokay Geckos in almost every type of pet store in America. And there's only reason for that and that is their low cost. Because really this is more of a specialty animal. I see them very often for $19.99 or, "Buy the tank and we'll throw the gecko in for free". And I would say 99 percent of the times that people succumb to that come-on, it ends up bad for the owner or for the gecko.
These animals are absolutely beautiful and in a tank they will sit on the back of the glass because of their sticky feet and sticky hands. So you can see them readily. They do make a noise. I was trying to get him to do that. I think he did it a couple of times. They make a call. They do that Tokay kind of a call. So you can hear them at night, which is very, very pleasant to hear.
However, they're also known by people in the know as the pit bull of all lizards, if not the pit bull of geckos for sure. This animal has a tremendous jaw strength for its size and extremely sharp teeth. So the uneducated may go to a pet store and say, "Wow, I got this whole tank setup and I got a free gecko with it. I think I did well." And the first time they try to reach in and take him out of the tank, this animal will latch onto their finger and quickly he's being brought back to the pet store, because no one told him that they have a ferocious bite. They bite. They bite hard. They got tremendous jaw muscles and I call them the pit bull of geckos, because they don't let go. So you don't want really to be bitten by a Tokay.
It is not a beginner animal, even though it's priced as such. It is really more of an advanced hobbyist animal, who can appreciate the beauty of it. It certainly is a beautiful creature, from the front to the back. There's all kinds of wonderful patterns. And now they're being bred in captivity and the color patterns are changing, which happens quite often in captivity. Recessive genes meet recessive genes and different color patterns pop up out of the Tokay. So, a beautiful animal.
In my store here, we always let a few of them go in the store. We put them on cricket patrol. They're fantastic insect eaters. They come out at night. They got those big, beautiful eyes and they could see in the dark, and they'll hunt down any cricket that may escape in the store and be free. So we got one giant Tokay Gecko that lives in the back room. He's over a foot long and when my employees encounter him, they steer clear because he's got a ferocious bite. The Tokay Gecko, not for the uninformed, that's for sure.

I live in Japan and there are many house geckos here, much smaller than the Tokay .
House geckos are called "yamori" in Japanese which translates to house protector, and it is said that they will bring you good luck if you be nice to them.
I usually let them roam around my house. A couple of them intruded from my veranda, and they have done a great job getting rid of nasty bugs. The first time I saw one it was about an inch, now they have grown to about 5 inches. They are such adorable creatures.
Can't wait to let my Tokays roam during the early springs and winters.
Hi sir I need one with 5 inches can you please give me one
We have some over in Florida as well. They’re roughly the same size but can be up to 6-8 inches. They are also very friendly, I’ve been able to walk up to a couple and they will just crawl on your hand, willingly. When they get scared, they occasionally squeak and have been known to brawl with the other lizards around the house. They try to stand up tall on their little legs and act like some sort of shield like lizard and charge at their enemy. They’re amusing little creatures.
I have got
on philippines we also call them toko
Why do you need an aquarium in America? I grew up in the Philippines and these toko inhabited my house where they freely lived on my ceilings and walls.
Must be nice, but America is a massive country and we have varying types of geography and climates. They are native to your land so makes sense for you.
If you have a few heat lamps and they know where they are they will hang out there in the heat.
Rice Panday omg did your family believe the tokay could predict the weather cause back in the Philippines my grandma thought they predicted when it would rain or not
i really like tuko because they eat cockroaches
I remember when I stayed in Mindanao for a month... My first night I crashed out from long flights and no sleep, and I awoke from a Tokay calling, but I had no clue what it was, I was looking around and it was dark and he was very loud and I was nervous haha, my mind pictured a bird lol (but at night? Lol) Now I own 2 here at home and I keep them in a tank because it's a dry high desert in northern Nevada so hardly humid. I think she believed that they predicted the weather because they can sense a change in barometric pressure (sudden change in weather and rain) and that's when they like to mate, in the rain so it's makes sense because they'll call during that time.
Just sitting here, waiting for those care tips...
LOL I bought my tokay and she was mean for the first 2 days and after some "training" she is amazing! She has such an amazing personality and wants to always be with me! I would recommend these geckos for anyone who could take the time to bond with them.
Thanks. Im getting one tomorrow. You asnwered the question ive been asking all day
Sean Rawlinson updates on your gecko if you actually bought one?
Sean Rawlinson hows it going?
@@tobywoodhull3322 Sean was bitten by the tokay gecko and did not survive :(
2:00 raining large lizards...
+Galactic Weasel so funny man. the dude is explaining about tokay geckos and a lizard is totally owning itself in the background.
It's true that pits are just like any other dog (raise them right and they'll be simply great dogs), however they do have larger than average temporalis muscles which control the jaw, which is where they get some of their bad rep from (when brought up horribly)
I agree with you 100%! Pits are only aggressive because the owners make them that way. If you love and are nice to your Pit they are one of the most loyal dogs you can get! But yeah, a bite from them is NO joke! But that doesn't make them bad animals, they only bite because they feel they are threatened or scared.
TheAnimalGuyTV objection there are aggressive pitbills. a majority are bad owners but not all of thek
Im thai and we can found these little lizard at night around and inside our house. They bite hard and they bite often if you wanna touch or catch them, they're a small great predator of the house, it eat almost all kind of insects so if you wanna pet it, I prefer you prefer it with care, and also why thai called it Tokay? easily, thats because they sound 'Tokay! tokay!' during night.
oh man i had one of them and let me tell you they are very soft. just like any animal if you put the time into them they turn out to be a great pet. my tokay Riply cause her back was so riply lol i had let all 3 of my kids hold her when they were babys. she was the best pet! i had her for 9 years. i found her in the tank on her side still alive so i picked her up and she died a few min later with me holding her. this is not a starter pet. they do bite hard. and the way to get them to let go is to put a blanket over their bodys and head. even though my girl was and old bird befor she died she would still bite me(not hard) when i had her out to long. or was playing with her to much. i even got her to do "tricks" like sitting on her back with legs in the air, and i could get her to bite softly. and she would always let go right after.(only after she was tame) i miss Riply. she was a good pet.
I saw one just now for 14.99 and I thought "Wow, what a beautiful Gecko, and for such a good price!" Glad I watched this video first.
Watching this cuddling with my Pitbull.
i grow up in philippines in the middle of the City ,Cebu we called that beast a Tuko , i love them hanging out in our house they chase small geckos and eat them , quit entertaining .
I had a large one who lived in my sink area of my home in Mindanao. While I never touched him, he was my buddy.
1:99 Lizard falls in background LOL!!!!
spekulatius90 Oh, ya oops
that lizard always makes me laugh
He does that pretty much every episode! XD
Cam Savo lol 😂😂😂😂😂
Uh uh you can have thousands of reptiles in your house it's might be totally fine but tokay is a no no! 😱😨 ps. I live in Thailand
My boyfriend and I have a tokay gecko named Aleah.. she is the sweetest gecko in the entire world. licking and everything.

"hello world"
"ok bye"
I love how mean they are. So freaking precious.
i have never seen one in a pet store
me to
Same
I have one and she is not aggressive and loves the human kind
You said that the tokay gecko has "very sticky feet" but it is actually like a finger print thingy with magnetic pulses and when they bend theyre toes upward (they to the opposite of our toes) then the pulse is disabled. This might not be a ood explanation but just check out the this video th-cam.com/video/71YPRaFT6Bo/w-d-xo.html anyway awesome video!
We have it in our house.😱
I've a tokay gecko but recently he isn't eating anything....why it's so?!
Why do u keep making him bite the piece of cardboard trash. Your stressing her out
Oh my Jesus dude, your handling her so rough. 1:43 she could have easily released her tail from stress
Jungle Bob has nicely manicured hands. XD
I dont want to hurt Jungle bob's feelings but Maybe thats the way Jungle bob expresses his feelings, maybe he is really a shy and insecure person that hides behind all his reptiles and that fancy hat ge got, and keeping his hands nice is a way of telling people that not everything about him is about reptiles!
gabriel nyström that was deep :D
what the fuck...
gabriel nyström I think that you overly analyzed this man. He's doing a care video about an exotic reptile.
Hahahahha ordinary in Philippines you can find that gecko in our houses
Omg at 2:01 did you the animal in the back round😂😂😂
Hello...nNo you can't keep me as a pet....I bite..Pitbull of geckos....Yeah...Okay I'll stop.
*No this is so embarrassing....
I have one it's named is Godzilla
That lizard in the background fell
what were the care tips again i must have missed it ?
I want to seel a gecko tokey from India...
The way he s holding it and man handling it is disgusting.
I've never seen a tokay gecko in any petstore in texas
Am I the only one who missed the 5 care tips?
I don't think that's a good way to hold a gecko...
2:00 look at the lizzard in the back loool😂😂😅
2:00
"DID YOU CALL THE CRICKET PATROL??"
I give they free for peoples want them.
Did anyone see the lizard in the background fall from its tree at 2:01
me too
this video title should be how to avoid
I love listening to this guy :D
I love my Tokay, she is beautiful. Every one wants to hold her, and I'm like...uhhhh no. Want to loose a finger? lol We have an understanding now, so I can clean her cage with out getting bit, but she has gotten me a few times pretty good.
Mine is nice he loves to be held
+Zander Polonkey me too
He is so right so many people I know are like 'DERP me want pet lets by tokay or iguana DERP' start small and work up GOD!
Tokay gecko are native in the Philippines and there is one in our house which I discovered recently and they are not welcome because they are known to bite when you accidentally cornered them like when you open the door they jump on you and bite and won't let go. I want to get rid of them but when I hit them with a broom they just hide behind anything only to come out later on. Their bark reminds me about their presence which make me uncomfortable. They don't look beautiful to me, they look ugly.
Also not mentioned, but some of these geckos, especially *captive bred* more than anything, can possible be tamed out and become gentle pets. They're also somewhat intelligent for a gecko, or so I've heard.
Its very costly animal
Care tips don't get them
this one must be drunk
Cool!! Nice, yeah, saw that "over a foot long" Geico playing in the branches in background.
Tokay's are absolutely stunning lizards. However, the ones I have come across have been so aggressive that handling them is nearly impossible. This video is absolutely correct.
This is where the word gecko comes from because the Latin name is Gekko Gecko. They can be friendly too but it can be hard.
I have one i want to sell it
When we were young and still living in the Philippines my mom used to throw them outside in the bushes coz they’re so noisy at night. Months past, another gecko will inhabit our ceiling. It just goes on and on and on.
How are these care tips ?
I owned more than 10 genus reptiles in my life ,and geckos are actually one of the worst I have ever owned.
they usually bites (especially the males) and scream ,and the tokays have the toughest bite among them all and the worst
its nice to see an actually good how to cast
mintsiez hello
Don't buy a tokay gecko
please take care Gently !
So what are the 5 tips ?
We Filipinos call them Tuko, I just found a baby today! I can find it’s good in our dining room , so easy to take care of
Can i have one tokay geko
Are they all aggressive
Tokay geckos are common here and usually, we stay away from them. it's interesting to see that in other parts of the world, people treat them as pets rather than fear them.
There is plenty of wild tokay gecko i my house here in thailand and they are suoer aggressive
Im in Indonesia and u just need to look behind a shelf to find tokay geckos running around
कितने में लेते हो
So that's why Tokays are Tokays in Legend of Zelda Oracle of Ages
That seemed like about zero tips for caring for a Tokay rather than five.
that is not a tip vid
If you get one as a baby,would you say its easier to tame and get them used to being handled?
They are freakin mean! Leave em in the wild they are not good pets!
I just catch mine, I found a baby, it’s hella scared
2:00 the looks like monitor lizard in the background just fell from a tree😂
I knew exactly what I was getting into when I got one. And I love them.
I have 3 pitbulls and they are all very sweet I hate when people judge pitbulls just cuz what they see on the news it's not the pitbulls fault it's the owners so plz don't say or give the impression that all pitbulls are bad
Ikr I have a pitbull as well and she’s very affectionate, and only gets defensive when she wants to protect us, as all loyal dogs do. It’s all how you raise them, and she’s very fortunate to have been in our house from her puppyhood. But people who’ve never owned one just assumes they’re all vicious and bad. Smh.
I getting one with my first check
i have a gecko
Where’s the tips
I feel like this video makes tokays sound like they aren't good pets. They can be tamed down and become very docile, it's a shame to write them off as a display animal only.
It's more that they aren't good for Beginners rather than them being Bad Pets, They are Tameable, There's No Doubt about that. But it is going to be a little more difficult to do so than most Beginner Reptiles.
I’m in Canada
Hahahaha, 2 minutes in, did anyone else see the lizard in the background fall? :')
in the Philippines that gecko is in houses, we call it tuko
i didn't hear any care tips other than don't get bit lol
I have a tokay gecko in my bathroom. How do I catch it (safely)? He's a shy one though. He hides inside the gaps of the ceiling everytime I enter the bathroom.
+Aluminium Oxide lower the room temperature by blasting the a/ c . put crickets in large insect cage with lid open . rig the lid so that you slam it shut once the tokay is in the cage.
just grab it securely on his neck
Run in screaming with a pillow strapped to your head banging pots together to scare it away
Just kidding. Please DONT do that lol
Lmao! You actually tried that, didn't you?
tokay's are my favorite lizard and we have had a few over the decades, my wife wanted me to get another as she missed hearing them call at night but the one i ordered online is female instead of the male i ordered but o well. she is very testy about me cleaning her cage and comes out of her hide and attacks my hand when i remove and replace her water bowl, it is very funny as she will charge at my hand and bite at it while repeatedly making a loud ' GACK!!!' sound.
I have tokay gecko in my house if you want, you can take it for free.. Bcoz I'm afraid of that reptile..i have 3 tokay here i dont know if male or female
I have got
I have one
I live in the Philippines and I always see that in my house. We call it "Tuko" because of its sound. Most people are afraid/killing it because they say that if it you get it startled, it will jump onto you and it will stick in your skin (which can not be removed even if killed)
Please tell me if it's true. I dont want people killing them!
Not true at all
What was the 5 care tips again?

AND I GOT A FUCKING GECKO THATS WHAT HES TRYING TO SAY LOL!!!!!
That tokay looks like it has metabolic bone disease. Great video though.
That Tokay looks to be in perfect health. Not sure where you get MBD from....
It's the shriveling of the snout. May be a birth defect of some kind or I might just be seeing things, but I have had imports with mbd develop that shriveled, downturned nose when the disease progressed past a certain point.
shinkinotenki when they bite down hard, it causes their faces to scrunch up. That's what you're seeing. Healthy tokay, regrown tail.
shinkinotenki hello
Nice
Lol
I haven't seen the video yet, but I be the gets bit
i have this but wight 200 gm

So what happens when your lose geckos escape into the wild?
i'm going to get one, i think its awesome that their so aggressive, do you have any tips?, like how to hold one or pick one up or what they eat or where you get them
get one from a breeder since a lot of petstore ones are wild caught. some people can tame them and some people have no luck doing so. If they bite you and have a hold on you, you may have to run the gecko under some water to make it let go.
WHY DIDNT YOU LET IT BITE YOU TO DEMONSTRATE Kappa
So we got one giant tekal tok tokay gecko
Can you use this as display anamils?
