what size viv would I need to keep 3 sub adult tokays in? any problems housing females together, I've been told lots of different things my different people

you shouldn't have a prob with the females together, just keep a eye on them when you put them together. if their not together already i would introduce them at the same time into a new neutral tank. you'll will get many diff answers on tank size. personally with three tokays i'd be looking at a 120 gal tank, bigger is nicer but that size will provide enough space for the tokays to establish and move around good in.

Alright thanks alot, only ended up with 2 a male and female, both were housed with other geckos before, best way is to place them both in the tank at the same time? the male is quite the typcial gecko while the female is oddly laid back. I have to plans of breeding but what are the chances of it just kind of "happening" I guess? sorry still kind of new with the geckos. thanks in advance

The reason I suggested introducing them at the same time is cause sometimes one will consider the tank its territory and not like competition. With a male and a female you should be ok. If i had a pair already i would change their setup before adding the new cage mate. You should be fine with both being new, their opposite sex and i would take it both are going in a new home. Were they housed together before?
I've never done anything special to get Tokays to breed, they do it on their own. A couple suggestions I would give to start with would be...
Don't handle any more than absolutly needed, let them do their thing and just watch and observe them. Their very active geckos when housed properly.
Be sure their tank has plenty of hiding places, places they can get completly out of view when they want.
Be sure temps and humidity are kept in range.
Large tall tank, the bigger you can get the better, really.
The challenge is to get your tokays to feel secure and safe, have a territory and not be constantly bothered or handled. Depending on the Tokays they could breed right away or they could take a couple years. Good luck
