handleing tokay

violator Jul 31, 2004 10:35 PM

ok i got a baby tokay its about 2.5 inchs long should i try to handle it now to tame it. Or wait till it grows alittle?
just asking this cause its very hard to grab it lol. I have tried to grab him and he barks and runs. He will let me touch him for a couple secs and thats it.
So should i keep trying to grab him every day or wait till he is like 3 to 4 inchs long befor i handle him every day?

I would just let it get accostomed to your hand. Slowly move your hand towards it and pet it untill it runs away. Keep doing this untill it doesnt care anymore. Then you can put one of your hands in front of it and kind of push it onto it with the other. Take it slow, it will be best for the gecko.
