What Geckos Have A Voice?

lizard-lady Jan 17, 2004 10:53 AM

Hello.

I'm new to Geckos. I was thinking about getting a Tokay or two. They are beautiful lizards and I know though, they are aggressive. I would like to get them too because they bark. Is there other Geckos that make noise, if so are they less aggressive than the Tokay because it would be nice to hold them.

Thank you for any info you can give me.

Hello Nasr 36 and Lint. Thank you for your replies. Where would I get these Geckos? I have been going through the dealer/breeder list and I can't find them.

Thank you tokay-dude for your reply.

If you get tokays young you can tame them and when they grow up you will have that bark that you want. Not much beats the call of the tokay. Teratoscincus species also make a chirping noise i believe.

Liek 90% of gecko species do produce noises. Ranging form chirping over whisteling to loud barking.

...and tokays are among the least agressive geckos at all -if kept under appropriate conditions.
