About to get a Tokay...

K1LOS Jul 31, 2003 12:44 AM

hi, i already have a few turtles, and a pair of leopard geckos, and am looking to expand the collection. Tokay's have always intrigued me so i think i will go that direction. I don't know any local breeders breeding tokays, but a superpet (large canadian petstore chain) has a 4.5" tokay on for $49.99 CDN. He was looking rather grayish, but it might have been because he was about to shed (do tokay's go grey-whitish before a shed?). I will try and get a pic up and you all can tell me if you think it looks healthy. Can anyone offer me any advice and quality care sheets before i aquire a tokay?

Thanks

heres a great book

tokay geckos and related geckos(believe thats the title)
by sean mceown and jim zaworski

It is a great book and seventy five precent of it is on tokays.the rest is on golden,white lined,flying and bent toed geckos but it is the best in my oppinion book on the market about tokays

How big of a setup is this Tokay in and do you know if its CB or WC. Tokays normally go for around $20.00(US) around here.

Hmm... that would be $35 cdn, a little pricey then...

i don't feel to comfortable getting it from a petstore anyways, maybe i'll hold out.
