They really are great geckos if you raise them from babies. They lose thier fear and become tame. My adults are second generation captives. I keep thier hatchlings for a few months to get them use to being handled before they go to new homes. Only problem is no one wants to pay extra for cbb baby. All I ever hear is how you can buy one at a show for about $5. I have never seen an import with the color or temperment of a cbb. Its more a labor of love than anything. My biggest thrill is showing a fellow herper how tame they are in person and seeing the look on thier faces when they handle them......Joe

They look extremely healthy, and it's awesome to see them so friendly. I have to handle all my lizards I enjoy the interaction, so would be thrilled to have cbb tokays one day.

I understand what you mean as far as people saying they can get them cheap at shows, and not have to pay you a higher price. I have many lizard pets, and breed some species , mainly my beloved collared lizards. I understand how much love, caring, time, as well as expense goes into this passion.

They are absolutely beautiful, awesome pics ! I enjoyed seeing them.

They were all as tame as your average Bearded dragon. I have since sold the whole group including all the babies. Joe
