How do you tell when a tokay is asleep

violator Jul 14, 2004 04:32 PM

Just wondering I am new to tokay gekkos and i am wondering how do i know when it is a sleep? Just wondering i heard they are sleeping when they are head down on the wall.
How long do tokays tend to go without eating after shipping?

I don't know how to tell if they are sleeping since their eyes never close. They always appear to know youre around even though you think their sleeping. Mine will hang sometimes head down and sometimes heads up so I don't believe that to be a indication. They are pretty hearty eaters and should start eating within a couple days. That could depend on his condition before being shipped, his actual shipping conditions and legth of time and if its a CB or WC. Good luck Tokays are awsome. Do very little to bother it over the next couple weeks, Tokays really hate being confined in small places such as deli cups during shipping and is probably very stressed.
