ok so I know that this post should be directed to the main gecko forum, but I'm too much of a lopass to check that later, so I'll just ask it here and hope it gets an answer. what's the deal with tokay geckos? someone told me that they hae super powerful jaws or somehting. I was just curious.

Also, anybody know where I can find some good female tangerine albino leos? (figured I should throw in a leo question to make this post count in here.)

I don't think they have outrageously powerful jaws or anything, they just have big heads for geckos. So I don't doubt that the bites hurt a lot.

Yea, they do have powerful jaws cause they're so big. They are also hard to tame and they usually bite if you try to do anything with them. Some people have tame ones they can hold but i think it's pretty rare. Also if they bite they usually don't let go right away. Hope this helps, Katie
PS, Sorry can't help you with the leos but i'm sure someone else can.....

well if you dont call being able to shred a pinkie rat in pieces within seconds powerful then i dont know what is. have you ever seen the size of a full grown adults head in person. go look at gecko forum, lots of pics and info. check the classified and breeders that advertise here for tang Leos. ive seen alot of gorgeuos Tang Leos lately.

I'm going to be selling a limited number of beautiful tremper tang albinos beginning in about three weeks, on the kingsnake classifieds. Superb bloodlines, all at least 50% possible het patternless with lots of hypo and some carrottail genes. First priority goes to wait listers and early deposits, email me if you are interested.

This hypotang boy is NFS, he's going to be my new breeder male next year, but is a nice example of what my bloodlines can produce

Have you ever seen one in person? They're HUUGE! Leopard geckos are already big compared to other geckos.
