I think the minimum cage size for one is a ten gallon. Since they're geckos with pads they like to climb so I would get it something a little bigger and taller. Sorry don't have any pictures but there may be some at the KS picture gallery. Katie

Nope, the minumum is 60 gallons or maybe even higher. These are large and active geckos. Go to the gecko forum to get more experienced answers, if you haven't already.

I said i think. Before i got my leos i wanted to get a tokay so i read up on them and several caresheets said 10 gallons. Yes, i agree about the 60gal or more i personally think 10gal is to small. Katie

It really is, I've seen tokays in pet stores kept in 10 gallons (and lower!) and they don't even move, except to bite people of course!
