>>hello all, I need some advice about Tokay Geckos. I have read many online care sheets and found contradictory information. I have many reptiles (11 snakes and 2 skinks) but have never had Tokay Geckos before but I really want one!

>>Here are my questions:

>>1) Can I house a single individual in a 10 gal glass cage? If so, would it be good to stand it on its end to give more height?

>>2) do they need UVA or UVB lighting? I have read both on care sheets; some say they are nocturnal thus don't need UVB, which makes since to me. Many have tried to tell me that my snakes need UVB, which is false, so I don't know which is true about these guys.

>>3) Can you all give me some misc. tips to keeping them?

>>Thanks in advance!!

A single animal can be housed like that....they do appear to appreciate a coil(20 watt) UV B light. Plenty of places to hide, a deep substrate bed of coco peat and moss on the top help provide humidity. Vary the diet.
