just got some tokays

jasonmattes Nov 12, 2004 10:53 PM

Hey i just got some tokays today...1.3
Never had them before..so they are my first
I have done my reaserch on them so am familiar with their requirments.
I do have a few questions though.....is that a ok number to keep together?
How often should they be fed rodents...should they really be fed them at all and is it necessary?
A rat pinks ok?? two of them are adults and two are sub adults...the smaller ones are probobly a little small in my opnion for the rats.
Thanks in advance....Jason

1.3 is fine just as long as they have room, a 40gallon high is good, but the bigger the better, i use a 110gal

rodents are not necessary, but if you plan to breed them they would be good for fattening up any females, i would stick to crckets, mealworms, superworms as of now

if they were eating rodents on a regular basis would calcium powder be necessary??

a tokay would get big enough to take an adult mouse, the biggest my 16 incj male ever took was a small mouse..about 4-5 weeks old, if you want to feed pinkies just dip their rumps into a calcium supplement and your good to go
