I am taking a poll of what is the best food source people believe to be for a tokay gecko. Please post

Thank You

Good luck with "everyone" posting. . I think about 3 people view this forum. As for the best food source it all depends on the person. During spring and summer I try to feed mine all kinds of things, crickets, silk worms, super worms, pinki mice, roaches, pretty much anything that moves they will eat. During fall and winter I cut back on the variety of food and how much they get and mainly stick to crickets. I also try and cycle mine for a few month for better breedings. A lot of people do it differently its all on how you want to feed them. They eat anything and everything. If it moves its a very good chance its going to be food. I once had some ants try to set up a colony in my adults cage and watched as my tokays ate them right off the glass.

I agree. The best food source is a varied food source but I, no matter what others say believe mealies and supers along with silks to be the best for getting the emaciated pet shop Tokay's a good start. I also used gerbil pinkies on a rare occasion along with the big black field crickets. ( I live in a place I am pretty confident on which they don't spray pesticides and I try to keep them a few days gut loading them well trying to pass what may be in them)
