does anyone here keep these? i am interested in getting one. I already have a tokay (gekko gekko) so i know how to care for them. I'm sure they are about the same right? are the green eyed tokays also aggresive?

i dont know much about green eyed "tokays" but i do know that they arent tokays ... so they are probably niceR.... they are related to tokays and look like tokays ... thats why they are called green eyed tokays but they are 2 completely diferent species

There are two species of "green eyed" tokays.
Gekko smithii exceeds a tokay in size but is slimmer. click me
Its temperment is sinmilar to that of tokays and its call is as loud or even louder.
They are hiowever often finicky eaters.
Gekko siamensis stays a bit smaller than a tokay, is also slimmer and its call is less frwequently heard and a bit less loud than a tokays call.
This species is less agressive than tokays and is a rock dweller.
