I have a problem--actually an exact opposite problem most people have--My Tokay LIKES to be held. In fact, if I don't she (or he) will refuse to eat. She jumps on me. Problem is, she stares at my face and I have the DISTINCT impression she wants me to kiss her on the chin. Which I'm afraid to do. She may bite my lip off! She never bit me but I'm not chancing it.

But she DOES jump on me deliberately and REFUSES TO LET GO. And likes to play silly games like jump on my shoulder and I put her back on my hand..then JUMP--back on the shoulder.

But lately she has been aiming at my face. I DON'T want my tokay to jump on my face.

I thought tokays were supposed to be antisocial. It's a pain in the you-know-what when they want attention and will not eat unless handfed.

I have her in a 30 gallon tall tank. Is that enough room??
She seem comfortable and has lots of plastic limbs to run and climb on. I mean she seems content in there, but is it enough?

And of course she likes to jump on me which I don't like at all.
She has wierd feeling feet. And she can REALLY stick on me and I have a hard time getting her back in the tank because she rather stay on me. and sometimes is quite determined to make me hold her for a LONG period of time.
