Hi

It would be cool if you could send it into a card company and they used it!.

Hey! even if you could find a way to get it on a card and into petstores.

I went into a pet supplies plus store and they had animal cards for different occasions.

Take Care, TLB

i actually have this picture on a bussiness card at my local petco..i made it for my site..i made the oulook and took it to a printer store and asked for 500 copies and gave them to the manager and now they sit in holdsters on each cash register, lol its pretty cool...but putting is as a real card like what you said would be so awesome...

actually he is VERY tame...i've had him for 4 years, since he was a hatchling, ever since he was a baby he never even tried to bite..but he screamed alot.. so i named him after Linkin parks lead singer Chester, LOL....i guess he was born without the mean gene LOL i let him sit on my shoulder sometimes and he'll sit there for hours, he's really a sweetheart

StinaUIUC Mar 30, 2004 12:14 AM

That's awesome! I think tokay's are gorgeous but I don't have the space or money and I'd want to make sure I was getting a tame one...which I think would be hard to know without at least seeing it and I wouldn't want to get one from a petstore...so yeah...no tokay's for me...lol

lol, you'd have a better chance buying a baby and rasing it from there if you ever do buy one..babys dont really bite they open there mouths and try to intimidate, lol

Hi

Why don't you go to a petstore like I mentioned and pick up one of those cards they have and look at the back of it to see what company makes them, and then write them a letter along with one of your business cards with the picture on it to see if they would be interested?.

Even though there isn't, you should also in a small part of the letter, make mention that the picture is copy writed. It wouldn't hurt.

It would be great to see a card like that with a Leopard Gecko on it also.

Take Care, TLB

tokay_dude1 Mar 30, 2004 12:29 AM

thats a very good idea...im gonna look around for those cards...thanks for the tip!

That tokay is a albino isnt it been meaning to ask also where did you get him? I use to have about 15 tokays together in a 40gallon and all man they were like a little army I open the tank they stick all thier heads up with theres mouths open screaming ready to pounce.. Putting your hand in thier was like puting your hand in a cage full of mouse traps. They never gave me any problem feeding though lol.

puttinmg 15 tokays in a tank as small as a 40gal isnt a good idea...for that many tokays you'd need at least a 280gal tank, and no he's not an albino hes just a normal CB male tokay, his colors are bright like that because he is very well cared for
