just wondering i am getting a tokay gekko soon, its a captive bred new born. Just wondering, what are the chances of hand taming it if I handle it every day?
Second question could I put it in one of those reptariums, those plastic net cages?

Tokays prefer glass it seems but a large reptarium is better than a small glass tank. I would say that it would be fine as long as you find a way to keep the humidity high and line it with a lot of climbing space such as logs and plants. Taming is possible especially when young. Just handle him often and dont be afraid because they can sense it. Mine is tame....somewhat. They never quite tame down completely it seems as mine gives me warning bites when I catch it in a bad mood. Nothing major, but leaves two cuts. Eats from my hand flawlessly though...good aim..
