Be patient.
Despite their physical robustness, tokays are very sensitive creatures and any kind of stress prevents them from breeding.
Many WC Tokays won�t breed before they have spent a year in captivity. Even my cb breeders normally stop all breeding activities for 1-3 months if introduced into a new tank.
So give them all the time they need.
If the tank setup is fine, they will sooner or later breed for you.

Good luck
