I noticed you guys really love seeing Tiki and the tokay twins so I'm going to do my best to share more entertaining/educational content on keeping these beautiful, personable animals! Hope you guys are doing well and don't forget to answer today's comment of the day!
Sir, I had a tokay Gecko before, I just want to share my experience in taming it, I used a tube that they can hide, but cant turn around, I bring that tube out and handle the tokay gecko that way, They start to be tamed when i put my fingera and they curl their tail on to your fingers. If you want I can share some pictures
I have a five-month old Tokay named Jeno, and he's as sweet as my leopard geckos! He's very vocal and still has that Tokay attitude, but he never bites! Your videos are actually what made me decide to get a Tokay instead of another Crestie and its the best decision I've made! Thank you
Hey so I am looking into getting a tokay gecko when I previously had a leopard gecko which unfortunately passed away after 14 years I’ve had him since I was 11 I have a very nice cage for a leapord gecko and was wondering if I could put a tokay gecko in the same habitat I have a dry Matt and a bunch of rocks and water areas but it seems more like a desert area is that okay or should I get a new habitat for them?
@Sal You definitely need a new habitat. Tokay Geckos live in a tropical climate while Leos live in a more arid/temperate climate. Tokays need high humidity, lots of vertical space, and plenty of hiding/climbing space made of cork bark, driftwood, or any other reptile-safe branches. A few rocks and ground-hides are not going to cut it with a Tokay. Their level of maintenance is also much higher than that of a leo, I have to clean, mist, feed, and change water more frequently than with any of my other lizards. If you're willing to put in the money for a good setup, it won't be as difficult. I recommend watching some care/set up guides for tokays as well as researching their temperament. I got very lucky and mine is quite biddable, but many Tokays are strictly display animals and they cannot be handled as freely or safely as Leopard geckos. Hope this helps!
I live in Asia and these all come wild, most people consider them pests here. Tokay are amazing little friends, nothing brings me greater happiness in the middle of the night than hearing them do their mating call while it echos throughout the house.
I have 11 actually. I'm trying to produce captive bred animals so people can see the full potential of these guys. They are highly intelligent ,impressive to look at and absolutely tameable. I only have wild caught adults right now as this project is in the early stages. I have found that you can build alot of trust with an animal that has its very own cage and kept by itself.
What is the lifespan and if you have time please read the comment I just left on this thread and give me your thoughts on our situation with wild geckos living on our bedroom wall in Philippines. Thanks Eric
I own three! All of mine are hand-tame, and it took a few months of gentle handling, patience, and occasional treats. All three of mine were wild-caught, and waited until they were out of quarantine to even try to handle them gently, with cloth gloves. I also use the idle lap method, where I set them in a pocket or on my lap and talk or work at my computer normally until they are completely relaxed, then gently put them back in their enclosure with a treat. Mine are 1.2.0, a large adult male, an old adult female, and a young adult female. They all have their own enclosures.Most of mine already eat from the flat of the hand, but I'll definitely try feeding with tongs. As a note, anytime I take any animal out I'll tap my nails on the enclosure a few times to let them know I'm opening up to handle them, and don't tap when it's just a water change or cleaning.
I’ve been breeding so many geckos, but the reason i don’t breed Tokay Gecko is he is too fierce. I think it will hurt if i get bitten by them. But, Taming them well, they will be good pets. That’s cool :) I enjoyed watching this video :D
Once I get all the long distance trails I wanna do out of my system I want to adopt a tokay; they are so hilarious in every way. I love how enthusiastic and 'vicious' they are when they hunt, walloping their prey against hard objects. I love their vocalizations and how you can earn their trust.❤
Because of your tokay videos, I’ve convinced my mom and I’m getting a tokay of my own! I finally feel confident enough to own one because of you and so many other content creators. Thank you for giving these geckos positive representation! :)
I can literally get one whenever I want there's a million of this because we have alot of trees and big space so ye or I can ask the kids outside my house to catch them for me
I've been using the same techniques with the wild Lizards in my yard, they work , you just have to be really patient. The hungrier they are , the more they will come out. You can only reward them for being brave.
In my country (Philippines) they are very common! They suddenly even appear in houses out from the wild, I have 2 of em in my house lol, and Yes they are so aggressive but we actually don’t mind them staying in our houses but we don’t make em our pets as well, it’s just kind of a normal thing in my country to have Tokay Geckos, it’s like our house is theirs and they can be very noisy sometimes 😂 and we call em “Toko”. Nice video tho!
5:06 is the most adorable thing ever, oh my god! Seeing him stretch out like that like hes still a bit hesistant. I pre-purchased a cb tokay from a breeder, and cannot contain my excitement as I finish his enclosure. The breeder has been really cool about waiting for me to get everything right beforehand. I can't wait!
Saw a dark today with orange spots at an expo in CatAleah’s latest video, and I was immediately obsessed. They’re so gorgeous. Discovered this video and your channel off the back of my search RUclips search for them!
I guess RUclips recommended this video to me because I've been watching your videos with tokays in them- very informative video! I would love a tokay someday. Keep up the great work :)
I'm getting two cb females from a friend next week and I am beyond excited! They seem to be about at the stage that Tiki is at in this video, except they're still a bit young (about a year old). I'm beyond excited to experience them.
When Tiki reached out that first time onto your hand around 5:07 I laughed probably much harder than I should have. Tiki was doing their best but the little bridge gap that they did between the enclosure and your hand was too funny for me! Tokay geckos are so beautiful. I can see why people would want to have them be handled. Thank you for the educating video!
My adult male has never made a sound in the 6 months I’ve owned him. He make that classic bark when I get my hand near him, but that’s it. I’ve tried playing recordings next to him, and still nothing!!!
...I don't have pets, I'd rather call them neighbours that live in my house rent-free. I have like 3 different tokay geckos in this house alone and they make super cute sounds at night, they might be loud but they don't last long, so I'm pretty sure you can still have a good rest :> I'd like to make the tokays in my house as my pets tho lol
I had Tokays living loose in my house in Devon Uk. A pair lived in the front room in a 2 inch gap between the wall and a 17 ft ply wood V salvator viv. That was from floor to ceiling. They were great in that they were just coming out into active mode when I came home from work. They would hang head down a few feet above me every evening while I watched the creatures, tv or ps2. I could hand feed them but plastic tongs are always bettter. No association of food with fingers then. There was another male who lived upstairs. Not quite as big as Art the down stairs male. They often had vocal battles on the big stair wall. During the summer they would even leave the house through open windows i know this as I often saw and heard them outside. I never lost one like this though, they always returned. The downstairs pair bred many times. The first time I saw babies was one evening sat down watching telly when I noticed a movement out of the corner of my eye and there it was. It’s brilliant white banded tail signalling wildly to the parents on the other side of the doorway. It very quickly moved over the door and down between its parents where it stopped and settled, only to be joined by another that copied the same sequence. Both parents and young would readily feed from my fingers. Amazing pets amazing animals.
I actually just got a juvenile captive born male tokay Gecko. He has just started letting me hold him calmly after taking him out of his cage. I work for a pet store that had him, and was trying to form a bond with him since day one. While he seemed to have gotten extremely aggressive towards other employees, he only ever nipped at me lightly when i try to bring him out. He calms down almost immediately after I get him out. Closes his mouth and starts to lighten up in color to that beautiful blue and small green colors. The employees had him for so long and surprised he was so calm with me, that they just wanted me to have him. So, his name is Bubbles and while he looks like a cutie, we found out that he just doesnt like men in general. He is Bubbles with a bubbly personality, just be aware that he pops with personality and attitude too!
I used to own a Tokay gecko. I just reached into the cage while it had its mouth open toward my hand. It would start honking and I’d let it bite me a few times and eventually it realized that the bite wasn’t effective and I would just keep petting it. After months I would just reach in and pick it up and it wouldn’t bite or run away. It would just hang out. Then I would feed it after I put it back in the cage. The association was that after letting me pick it up, it would get food.
Cool things about tokays: they are unique about their sound and foot. They are the only geckoes that make zat sound. And I tell they're (not pretty) LOUDDDD as fricc. And their foot, I mean toes bends upward instead of just walking normal. Their toes are using static electricity to stick onto ANYTHING, any solid material or flat and rough. It's basically a futuristic plunger and their stick-onto-any-solid-surface is also strong. That's why their toes are designed to flip back and peel off to deactivate da sticky Boi.
Awesome, fun video. It's super cool to see Tiki jump on to your hand when all I've heard and seen about these geckos is that they hate humans and bite fingers super hard lol. Your channel is great, and your dedication and passion for exotics creatures really shows. Keep up the great work!
Damn your tokays are like a completely different species to what I had almost a decade ago... If my cage was ever open I'll never ever see them again, and they just strike at ANYTHING that moved. I wish I had brought up one like you did now.
I was amazed, many people liked it, but 85% of my country was scared of it, even though I could find it in my own home (in the countryside, almost every home), just the sound made my friends cry.from Thailand
My geckos are aware of when we are getting ready to feed them. They are so tame. They want out all the time. The chameleon is a different story. He likes to be left alone. Yep, constant working. Routine. Get them use to people being around.
I seen two in the wild, in south Florida. I was working on a re model went in the garage and I seen one it was huge! It ran behind the shutters on the wall so I went over to it because I didn't know what kind of gecko it was, pulled the shutters back and there was two! I'm pretty sure they were a mating pair, because they were face to face
Tokay geckoes are living in almost every house in my country because they are native animal here. They are very smart and like to interact to humans even they are wild geckoes. They also make 'tokay' noise to talk to humans sometimes. Some of them even seems to know how to ask for food from humans. Unfortunately most people here are scared of them.
I have a wild Tokay that has moved into my house. Traditionally they eat MICE here. Being that it feeds and waters itself currently, either it's going to be extremely food motivated or not at all. I raise BSFL, about 1/2 the length of those super-worms. Hoping that would be attractive enough. Set a bowl out, then eventually try tong feeding? What about treating parasites in a wild, non-caught Tokay?
I'd love a Tokay. I lived in Thailand for 2 years and had Tokays living in my house. Unfortunately here in Australia we can only keep native reptiles. Great video 👍
@@Reptiliatus Well the thing is, the gecko broke in to the house to eat said pie, he was caught red handed after falling asleep in the pie pan after eating half of it. i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv276/ianlyly/a013.jpg Here's one eating mango jam in the Philippines, though as i understand from a friend of mine, they make a similar type of jam in Cambodia as well, with the same results. Id think a very small amount offered as a treat should be ok, I gave me snapping turtle a tiny piece of pumpkin pie ever Thanksgiving
I used the same method with my Savannah when he was a weeeee-lad. Now he’s over 2ft long and when I’m wearing blue jeans or work pants I let him climb up my leg to grab a fat Dubia.
I WOULDN’T get a tokay gecko because i don’t really like geckos that much, i don’t know why im just more interested in lizards that are more uncommon, like cuban knight anoles, caiman lizards, etc.. I WOULD get a tokay gecko because it’s agressive and i like taming lizards and getting them used to me, i also love the patterns on yours. Hope you have a good day!
I'm receiving my first tokay hopefully on Tuesday, I'm excited. I've had all sorts of reptiles and snakes over my lifetime, so I'm excited. Are the males loud at night? I'm only getting one as a start, I may get more, I may even try and get a female to breed them. But I am curious about how vocal the males are?
One day I will own one, because I have seen how amazing they can be when trying not to bite your finger off lol, but that's something I'd be willing to endure.
Ive been hearing for years that they are horrible pets, but Ive always wanted one. Ended up getting one little less than a year ago. Just have to make it comfortable and be patient. Id say mine is a little more skiddish than Tiki, but Im still able to get it to crawl onto my hand every once in a while.
I love tokays I own only 2 ladies now hera and lillith as my old boy zeus passed away 3 weeks ago from old age I miss him so much 😢 I had him a very long time i also lost another 1 of my girls from old age 3 months ago 😔 my last 2 girls are 8 years old
I would totally own a Tokay gecko. I think their colors are just stunning and I pretty much just assume that any arboreal geck is gonna be cranky so I don't think the attitude would faze me.
Thank you so much for this video. I rescued several wild caught tokays just a few days ago and your video helps me to know the steps to take. Right now they are all very aggressive because they have been traumatized (Sadly). They came back from the vet visit with meds the same day I rescued and are doing better with food offered. Down the road I would like to breed and help stop these and several other species I have from being wild caught. Thanks again for the video it is going to help!!!
Im living in the Philippines and back in the days its very very common that almost every houses have a colony of it i remember in the 90s i was just like in grade school we kids so afraid sometimes because there so big and kinda noisy every night until you get used to it. Now very seldom just now i noticed 1 small one in my house it doesn't always make a noise. Ther love to lay dozen of eggs stick to walls or crevices the young ones looks awesome because of tgeir vivid colors
So I got a pair of tokay like weeks ago. One was healthy the other one was so skinny, acording to what you say I do believe it could be that there is parasite in the skinny one. I am still trying to get her to eat but its not really affective. On the other hand, the healthy one escaped her tank, but its unsual because she did not leave my room, I think she is just comfortable with her “bigger home” now. I did offer food for her, tong at first then hand feeding, she took it all. I was separating the two because I think that it would be better to treat the skinny one first then i put them together in one tank. Anyways, what u’re doing is my motivation to tame my tokays. Keep it the work.

I have 13 tokay geckos please tell what to do because some are losing their tails
I love my tokay male his name is tig and im getting a beautiful female hydra today. So excited to have them and breed later

I love these little Pokémon-lizards. I was planning to get one at an expo in June, but yknow, pandemic
They are incredible!
You can get some online
I can literally get one whenever I want there's a million of this because we have alot of trees and big space so ye or I can ask the kids outside my house to catch them for me
gaming with lava deadass same there’s so many in my backyard
Does it keep you awake the sounds are annoying
A good point I see is that he's confortable enough to eat on your arm before going back into his enclosure
Those little twins both peeking round the cork bark.... My heart melted ! ♥️♥️
Love the critter peeking its head out of the plants on the right and watching him talk.
I've been using the same techniques with the wild Lizards in my yard, they work , you just have to be really patient. The hungrier they are , the more they will come out. You can only reward them for being brave.
Very cool!

Yes, these lizards must be handy to hunt insects in Philippines homes?
First learned of these guys during my first trip to Thailand...... fell in love!!!!
Sadly am Aussie and we can't import practically anything...
I think that they would be intriguing. Love Geckos, so the challenge would be worth it.
Lol the Red Eye says "Food time?" hahaha! You can see it ready.
Honestly these have been the most intimidating reptiles I’ve come across lol
Haha your little croc skink was so funny to watch. 2:25 ....wait for it... 🤣

Always loved tokays and still will and will own one someday
The cricket crawling up his shoulder 😭😂😭
Nice.. He returns.to his enclosure after eating and doesn't run away 😊
You are very good at explaining how to tame these pitbull like geckos. Thank you for your videos, Sir!
My pleasure :)
I would love to own a tokay, but im renting a room and I heard they can be really loud at night.
I like the idea of a challenge.
I've had my Tokay for about 4 months and I've never heard him make noise unprovoked. Maybe its just cause he's a baby though....
Get a female they make less noise
My adult male has never made a sound in the 6 months I’ve owned him. He make that classic bark when I get my hand near him, but that’s it. I’ve tried playing recordings next to him, and still nothing!!!
They can be very very loud at day and night. But their voice is not annoying. 😍
Their voice sounds sweet and peaceful...but hissing is bad though.

Thank you so much!
Yes I would I think they are super cool.
Don’t know if I would ever own a tokay, but I would own that adorable red eyed croc skink that comes and watches you.
Yeah I would have a tokay, mostly because THEY ARE THE ULTIMATE GECKO!!!!!!
Couldn’t agree more! 👌🏼
Your tokays are so handsome, love the colors.
Thank you!
I could never get mine to come out of hiding even with tons of patience. That's amazing.
Patience and persistence! You can!
They are the cutest. 🥰 I definitely would have one if I had the time to look after it properly.
They are!
Also his lil jump is adorable
Haha yes
Aaahhhh that cute tribolonotus! Also yuppp definetly want a tokay at some point in the future! And yup the twins are awesommmmeeee
I just brought home my tokay this weekend and she's so beautiful! I named her Warhol because the spots remind me of pop art. :)
Wonderful! Congrats! Love the name choice!
Damn your tokays are like a completely different species to what I had almost a decade ago... If my cage was ever open I'll never ever see them again, and they just strike at ANYTHING that moved. I wish I had brought up one like you did now.
I took my Tokay to the vet and he asked for a stool sample. It wasn't until much later that I understood that he meant from the Gecko.
Absolutely. Im keeping one right now (not the Tokay on my profile picture that sadly passed away)
Yes I would I love tokays there such a funny little dinosaur
Just got two this past weekend. They are a little feisty but I love them
I was amazed, many people liked it, but 85% of my country was scared of it, even though I could find it in my own home (in the countryside, almost every home), just the sound made my friends cry.from Thailand

I would like to have a tokay gecko they are so cool and not as well known as they should be! LETS GO TOKAYS!!
I seen two in the wild, in south Florida. I was working on a re model went in the garage and I seen one it was huge! It ran behind the shutters on the wall so I went over to it because I didn't know what kind of gecko it was, pulled the shutters back and there was two! I'm pretty sure they were a mating pair, because they were face to face
I love all your videos BUT the tokay gecko videos are my favorite!!!!!! My tokay is a brat and won’t even come out lol
いいチャンネルですね！トッケイも可愛いですね❤️
Love those little balls energy, I’d love to own one, but I’m not experienced enough
They are lots of fun! Not as hard to keep as you might think!
I used to own a tokay gecko I loved to listen to him at night when he would "talk". I want to get me another one again one day.
Thanks for sharing! Yes, they can be pretty vocal sometimes!
@@Reptiliatus yes they can but it's so cute. Do you have any gargoyle geckos? I have 2 and one of mine is a silly thing.
I have 6 Tokay Geckos. 2 of my adults are tong feeding and handle fairly well.
I'm a little late, but I think they are just gorgeous geckos, I really want one. But I think my crested gecko would get jealous 😂
Thank you for watching! They are incredible! Cresties are also lovely animals!
I've wanted a tokay gecko for years, but still haven't found a breeder. they're one of my favorite animals!
Tokay geckoes are living in almost every house in my country because they are native animal here. They are very smart and like to interact to humans even they are wild geckoes.
They also make 'tokay' noise to talk to humans sometimes.
Some of them even seems to know how to ask for food from humans.
Unfortunately most people here are scared of them.
I'm so glad you're giving these guys a better reputation. :)
Thanks my friend!
When I was holidaying in Boracay (Philippines) there were like a dozen of these guys barking outside my hotel room at night. They're SO LOUD! 😂😂😂
Hahaha I can only imagine! He’s loud enough! 😅 lucky I love him 🦎
I have a wild Tokay that has moved into my house. Traditionally they eat MICE here. Being that it feeds and waters itself currently, either it's going to be extremely food motivated or not at all. I raise BSFL, about 1/2 the length of those super-worms. Hoping that would be attractive enough.
Set a bowl out, then eventually try tong feeding? What about treating parasites in a wild, non-caught Tokay?
They are such a nice blue. Sappy is like where's mine lol. Great video.
I'd love a Tokay. I lived in Thailand for 2 years and had Tokays living in my house. Unfortunately here in Australia we can only keep native reptiles. Great video 👍
Super cool! Yes, unfortunately that’s the case
I love seeing him. He’s gorgeous.
Thanks so much! ☺️🙏🏼
Ive seen tokays go bonkers over, wait for it, peach jam and lemon meringue pie... So some do have a serious sweet tooth, something to consider.
So weird! Curious to know about but considering how unnatural that is, I’ll likely avoid it 😅. Maybe fruit but not pie, etc. Thanks for sharing!
@@Reptiliatus Well the thing is, the gecko broke in to the house to eat said pie, he was caught red handed after falling asleep in the pie pan after eating half of it.

Here's one eating mango jam in the Philippines, though as i understand from a friend of mine, they make a similar type of jam in Cambodia as well, with the same results.
Id think a very small amount offered as a treat should be ok, I gave me snapping turtle a tiny piece of pumpkin pie ever Thanksgiving
I used the same method with my Savannah when he was a weeeee-lad. Now he’s over 2ft long and when I’m wearing blue jeans or work pants I let him climb up my leg to grab a fat Dubia.
Thats awesome! Thank you for sharing!
I WOULDN’T get a tokay gecko because i don’t really like geckos that much, i don’t know why im just more interested in lizards that are more uncommon, like cuban knight anoles, caiman lizards, etc.. I WOULD get a tokay gecko because it’s agressive and i like taming lizards and getting them used to me, i also love the patterns on yours. Hope you have a good day!
Yes i would love to own a tokay gecko :>
I did own a tokay gecko wild caught cause there are so many here in my house.. hehe
Very cool!
You monster!! Lol sorry what happened to it btw
I'm receiving my first tokay hopefully on Tuesday, I'm excited. I've had all sorts of reptiles and snakes over my lifetime, so I'm excited. Are the males loud at night? I'm only getting one as a start, I may get more, I may even try and get a female to breed them. But I am curious about how vocal the males are?
Ok but what’s next to him? Those eyes are so cute peaking out !
Great video buddy! I Just took in a rescue Tokay from a buddy whos moving! always wanted one and never would buy one, so i am amped!
One day I will own one, because I have seen how amazing they can be when trying not to bite your finger off lol, but that's something I'd be willing to endure.
They are so beautiful. You do such a good job with all you're baby's
Thank you kindly! ☺️🙏🏼
Thanks for the suggestions. I just got my little one today. Mine is super small..
You’re welcome! Enjoy them!
Ive been hearing for years that they are horrible pets, but Ive always wanted one. Ended up getting one little less than a year ago. Just have to make it comfortable and be patient. Id say mine is a little more skiddish than Tiki, but Im still able to get it to crawl onto my hand every once in a while.
They take some work but are bold, beautiful display animals to say the least! Thanks so much for watching!
I love these guys so much. They are gorgeous and despite the attitude they could have, they are so cute. :D
Couldn’t agree more! ☺️
@@Reptiliatus I would love to own one someday when I have a chance. :D
Incredible strike force! Whoa!
I love tokays I own only 2 ladies now hera and lillith as my old boy zeus passed away 3 weeks ago from old age I miss him so much 😢 I had him a very long time i also lost another 1 of my girls from old age 3 months ago 😔 my last 2 girls are 8 years old
These little guys run wild in the philippines my wife catches them all the time. They love her
Very cool!
I would totally own a Tokay gecko. I think their colors are just stunning and I pretty much just assume that any arboreal geck is gonna be cranky so I don't think the attitude would faze me.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for this video. I rescued several wild caught tokays just a few days ago and your video helps me to know the steps to take. Right now they are all very aggressive because they have been traumatized (Sadly). They came back from the vet visit with meds the same day I rescued and are doing better with food offered. Down the road I would like to breed and help stop these and several other species I have from being wild caught.
Thanks again for the video it is going to help!!!
Im living in the Philippines and back in the days its very very common that almost every houses have a colony of it i remember in the 90s i was just like in grade school we kids so afraid sometimes because there so big and kinda noisy every night until you get used to it. Now very seldom just now i noticed 1 small one in my house it doesn't always make a noise. Ther love to lay dozen of eggs stick to walls or crevices the young ones looks awesome because of tgeir vivid colors
Oh cute, you can see the red-eyes crocodile skink in the terra next to the tokay.
Haha yup! They are also well trained!
they have amazing colours and food responses!
So I got a pair of tokay like weeks ago. One was healthy the other one was so skinny, acording to what you say I do believe it could be that there is parasite in the skinny one. I am still trying to get her to eat but its not really affective. On the other hand, the healthy one escaped her tank, but its unsual because she did not leave my room, I think she is just comfortable with her “bigger home” now. I did offer food for her, tong at first then hand feeding, she took it all. I was separating the two because I think that it would be better to treat the skinny one first then i put them together in one tank. Anyways, what u’re doing is my motivation to tame my tokays. Keep it the work.
This was very cool to watch.
I came here from your water scorpion feeding video from 11 years ago I'm surprised you're still active
Heeeng always :). Thanks for watching!
The tokay was my 1st ever gecko. His name was apocalypse and he was big and mean as hell but he was sooooo cool!
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing!
