I love the fact you're talking like this thing is a tiger or something. "You'll wanna find him first so he doesn't surprise attack you"

"Frik you this is my tank." -Gecko

Scent introduction works wonders wear a white t shirt for a day no deodorant or cologne place pieces of it in the safest places of the enclosure. Eventually your tokay will associate your scent with safety that should help with the problem of them jumping and getting out of dodge when your handling them. Feed them out of your hand lay your hand flat with food in it inch it closer and closer if they open their mouth stop moving wait until they calm down if they run feed them normally and don't try again for awhile.

He as such beautiful colors. He just scared that poor little guy...

No, I’ve had 8 ft snakes and 6 ft lizards. I don’t screw wih tokays it’s a big nope.

I found this pretty darn hilarious 😂😂 But kinda adorable 😁

What a sweet little gecko :) I hope you were able to fatten him up, and I'm glad you're trying to tame him. They make great pets.

This has to be one of the best videos I’ve ever seen

The babytalk probably annoys the Tokay as much as it annoys people.

I was DYING laughing when your boy fell off your bare hand. They are so cute and defensive!

these crazy guys sound like creaky doors

I have a little female. After a month of introducing my hand twice a day, I can now stroke her tail, feet and back without her reacting or running away.

😂😂😂 Okay you're adorable. On top of that loved this gecko, he looks like a lot of fun (hopefully fingers will not be mangled). Been wanting one for years, the bite doesn't scare me because of previous experiences, but the bark is not something suited for apartment living. They bark so loud 😂😂 Good on you for giving him a safe home and a chance!

Great facts. Dude. I had a tokay gecko handled him with my bare hands the best way to really get them to calm down is to gently rub the sides of them. They do like that.

I just got my leopard gecko and I love her, now watching these guys make me want one.

Gecko: I bet my bite more dangerous Iguana:try me

If I ever get one I'm def gonna get a front opening enclosure. Would make things so much easier for taming and handling I would think.

Your tokay Gecko is so cute!!!!!! トッケイヤモリすごく可愛い!

You're only scared because you haven't been bitten. Lol

I want a tokay but i dont want one that “will just fucking attack you”

Thank you so much for this video, I had a lot of fun and learned a ton. What a cute guy! I almost caved and got one yesterday and got one myself, but that bite tho!

I think he's absolutely amazing and he's only a little baby~

I hate that they r so ferocious cause gosh they r so beautiful!!!

Thought I wanted a Tokay gecko. Looked up how to care for one before I decided to get one and saw that they were very aggressive

I had a tokay that would "bark" and charge at me. He was vicious.

LMFAO !!! I know how they are. However I had 1 that was as tame as a Leopard Gecko. Loved that boy 💗

You are more brave than I. Good video. I love their coloration, but I'm not ready for these little monsters.

You did great!

"F*** you this is my tank" I DIED LAUGHING

a skinty queen

We have one in our house. We saw him on my sister's room about 2 year's ago. He was a little cute lizard back then. He is now about a feet long. We don't touch him , don't give him water and food. We don't know where he eats and poops. We can only see him when he shows himself. Cool thing is he always do this gecko sounds when someone arrived in our house like his greeting us. I really do wanna touch him but my parents forbid me. I think he is doing fine he looks so much like yours but he is bigger. What do you think is the best thing for me to do? I can hear our neighbors always planning to steal him from our walls and sell him to Chinese alternative healers. They say he cost a lot.

I love how you talk to him!

Id be angry too if someone deconstructed my already way too small house. Some people should not keep reptiles

Good job bro👍

I love how you talk to him! I'm about to add a Tokay to my collection so am watching as much as I can. I'm glad you got him and hope he ends up happy and healthy!!

Tokay Geckos are an arboreal species. As most geckos are, i have a juvenile leopard gecko in a 20 gallon tank and a bearded dragon in a 60 gallon tank and a juvenile crested gecko in a 8 x 8 x 12 tall enclosure. he may also be so extremely aggressive because he isn’t in a enclosure that mimics his natural habitat. you need a tall tank!

Nobody: Gecko: FCK OFF DIS MY TANK

Idk if this temporary but he needs a much taller tank then this

You're so patient, I'm happy you rescued him, even though petco should be banned at least at 40% petco probably lost money.

you'll be tokay man no worries lol ;-) ♥

Just a thought..what I do with angry T's is keep them in their cork bark n seal one end. But yeah is tricky. Most are easily spooked. Love Geckos do want one one day. If I can breed some crickets.

Reminds me of my savannah monitor when he was little

Don't freak em out like that tho. Dismantling their enclosure is not a good idea. They need a space where they can retreat to and feel safe, don't ever pull them out of their safe space. Be patient, open hand in their space. Dont try and pick them up. Just try and touch his head without them biting. That's good progress.

0:38 i bet my tokay barks something like that every time i try to clean his tank

Lol this video is gold

I’m gonna get one and name it Tokyo pissed

There's a great channel by an Asian creator on socializing tokays. It's called, I can't remember what it's called. It should be hard to find. There's another called the reptile whisperer. That lady is awesome.

Welcome to Jurassic lizard 🦎

Before I watch, I predict blood.

Mine would have already launched out of the tank at mach 10 once I have the lid is open 2 inches.

The best defense is a good offense

Thank you for this video! Saw one for sale on Craigslist, and I think I know why the guy must be selling it! I bought a gecko from Petco a while back (painted) and he didn't make it, either. :( At least you tried!

so I'm considering getting this gecko. I'm a first timer and have never really had a gecko before, however I do have a large tank, a heating pad, and some good hiding spots. Would you recommend I get a different kind that's relatively cheap?

You should post an update on this little guy.

I sleep better at night knowing there are people like you in the world. Thanks for giving this little guy a chance. BTW how is he coming along?

Lol funny 😁

Hahaha this is some funny shit!

I respect you from saving this miniature pitbull from Petco. I feel the same way , I wanna save them all😔. But then they just restock them😔. I enjoyed the video, you definitely brave to handle this geckos .I don't mind the mittens😂 ✌

Is he any friendlier now?

How is he doing??

That enclosure is pretty small for him…

I work at Petco and we have to force feed the pythons because our f/t mice are crap. For some reason, the snakes don't like them. Guess it's the way they're processed. Honestly, we try our best with them but the suppliers often screw us over. One supplier sent us a baby bearded dragon that was half the size of my finger. Of course, manager said to put him out on the floor anyways 🙄

i just tried picking mine up and he's pissed.

Why am I laughing my ass off at this at 4:30 am thanks KZfaq

Yeaaaaaa, no thanks, lol. Its a cool lizard for sure, but I'd rather get something I wouldn't be 100% terrified of it hurting me. Brave man indeed though, lol.

Your voice don't echo in the glass box? May this scares him too...just guessing

you should get a 18x18x24 because that tank is a long and tokays are arboreal

He's like my baby savanna monitor. He acts like a demon but when you pick him up he's a baby he will lay on your hand and let you pet him. Accept yours not the petting kind.

Is there a reason as to why he’s in that tank that is a very bad tank since they need a TALL tank at least an 18x18x24. Someone please tell me why he is using that tank rather than a taller tank

i like that your name is a place in wyoming

Why does a grown man need to speak in a baby voice?

Hes so beautiful😍 Im sorry but its not how you do it you should not take anything out just set your hand in hes house and wait wait WAIT do it everyday and he gonna know that you are hes friend good luck♥ my tokay gecko is so frendly and not biting me at all

After a few months how's the taming process going

I have one, tammng him is a challenge but im almost thru to him

I feel bad for the gecko more!

Replace the raddle snake on the gadsen flag with tokay gecko

0:38 lmao

Is this guy still alive

Thai video is so old.but only 1 video about his tokay? Hmm maybe the tokay does after the dude trying to be all cocky by saying nobody knows how to care for them but him.

Why would anyone try to handle one of these lizards without gloves?

I'd be pissed all the time too if I was forced to live in a tiny enclosure like that. People treat these animals as jewelry for display rather than living things. Give it some freaking room so its life is tolerable. And why are you handling that lizard anyway? You are traumatizing it more than anything. If its an adult lizard its not going to want to play along. You have to start them young, and you have to do things on their terms. Slowly tempting it with food and conditioning it to your presence and your hands takes time. Its not going to like you if you tear its home apart and chase it around. So basically, you traumatized your lizard like an idiot just so you could post a video on KZfaq.

i do it all the time lol btw i have a Tokay Gecko to lol his name is BOB he love's w**D lol

I would put him in a bigger aquarium like a 20 gallon

oH hElLoOoOo

you are the most precious person

Just let him bite ya. its not that bad. just a bit of a pinch.

U know how fast Gecko’s do like me jk I’m not that fast

Do you buy gecko

so crucial! bad too small and horizontal type terrarium. bad ground. any good shelter.

oof

Dude holy shit just pick him up he's still small he won't hurt you.

How are they now?

that tokay is emancipated.....looks like it hasn't eaten in weeks

I was thinking of getting one but fuck that

Does it hurt?

up date please

Uuum. Tokays are areobal...they need a tall cage.
