Hi,
I have been breeding Tokays for a long time. I have over 60 species of gecko right now and have about a dozen tokay eggs incubating. In my opinion, the most important thing about breeding tokays is thier what I call, bonding period. when pairs or trios are first introduced, the male can be quite aggressive while establishing his dominance. Durring this time it is important to keep an eye on females and remove them soemtimes to be reintroduced later. Once this process is over, you will have a compatible pair or trio for a long time. As far as humidity and temp goes, Tokays will find the most suitable place to lay thier eggs as long as plenty of structure is provided in the enclosure (hollow logs seem to work well for me). So don't worry about humidity. Keep them in the mid to upper 80s, feed the crap out of them(pinkies and crickets), mist them a few times a week and they will breed for you.

Good luck,
Terry
