what your seeing is normal. males and females will watch over and protect those eggs, one will usually stay close by while the other is gone. They will also interact with the hatchlings, when they hatch that is. Tokays eggs are hard shelled and won't break easily by a Tokay climbing on and over them. Like mentioned it can take up to 200 days till they hatch. Most mine hatch out around 100 days and my longest were around 160. You dont need to do anything different except be sure your female has plenty of calcium, she will more than likely lay more eggs around every 30 days in the same spot creating a egg cluster. When you have more than one female they may lay their eggs in one spot and take turns watching their, along with the others eggs. They will not like you getting anywhere near the eggs and will be more vicious than normal if you do. Avoid misting the eggs directly or getting them wet. Keep the humidity good in your setup, mark your calander and after around 90 days start watching for hatchling or signs they hatched like holes in the eggs.
