>>These lizards are secret creatures and regular handling imposes nothing but stress to them.
>>They are not able by nature to "make friends" with humans and will never like to interact with them.
>>After a while of regular handling they may kind of give up, but even if you do not recognize it, any handling will continue to be stressful and will significantly shorten their life.
>>Why handle them at all?
>>Tokays are beautiful lizards which display fascinating behaviour.
>>They develop personal bonding to their mate, guard eggs and Babies and have a beautiful appearance. A cb Tokay will learn that the presence of its owner and even the cleaning work in the tank is harmelss and after a time won´t freak out upon that.
>>It will defend itself, if someone tries to grab it or comes too close to its eggs or babies.
>>But in general, tokays are among the least agressiv gecko species at all if accepted as what they are.
>>Thats how tokays are and nobody can change that. Do not try to handle these lizards. Its of absolutely no benefit fro them.
>>
>>best regards
