That's a pretty big tank for a juvenile Tokay. It's going to be paradise someday but right now it might be a better idea to keep it in something smaller for the time being until it gets some growth to it. In a smaller tank it will also be easier to monitor how much food the gecko is eating. After your gecko has settled in for a day or so, go ahead and drop in some food.

yeaahh i know.. but my two smaller tanks are stocked with my fish.. i have a plastic 5g tank but it is in really bad cndition.. i did threw out some grasshoppers in yesterday.. and it seems tht the amount of grasshoppers now is less than ystrday.. but im still not sure that he has eatin it or not.. should i just keep on throwing grasshoppers in it everyday? and what bout its water source.. i mist the tank everyday.. but should i put a water bowl as well? thanks for the reply Vicious _Fish !

yeah, i didnt.. i add when i have to .. today was the first time i saw it eating.. and regarding to the size of tank, i removed the plants as it is very hard for the gecko to spot its food.. i mist twice a day, morning and evening.. i wouldnt want to add a bowl anyway.. thanks
