Tokay Geckos.

Guy at the LFS is trying to get me to buy a Tokay Gecko. The Gecko is a adult and he says its like satans spawn in temperment.
How hard would it be to tame.. the guy thinks i can offer it a good home ps its cheap.


post pics of your tokay and your experiences! thanks

It might be tough since its already an adult. Tokays are the pit bull of geckos. So are aggressive by nature.

Most tokay's, even those you'll acquire as babies, will never hand tame. Just how it is.

If at first you dont succeed dont try again
they can inflict a good bite

Best bet would be to breed a pair and handle the hatchlings from day one...good luck with that, hehe. Seems like more trouble than it's worth.

If its a adult,you are never going to tame it,90 percent of the time,if you start from juvnile and work as it gets older it can possibly get tame.Trust me.
