How much do you sell baby tokay geckos for I'm looking to buy another one I got a female right now she very tame I've been raising tokay geckos for past 15 years but where I live they are hard to find to buy

@tammyfrancis7856 8 ай бұрын

It’s said that Tokay Geckos live up to 10 years in captivity. I’m sure you knew that though. Have you been raising up a male to put in with the lady’s or are you going to get one that’s not in the bloodline?

food, the way to a reptile's trust over time. 💜💜 i wonder if my cresties would like a bit of stone low in their habitats? oh! i didnt know the supers would eat the dubia chow. deffo gonna add some of that to their tub :D qotd: i'm actually getting ready to upgrade my juvenile crested gecko to his big kid enclosure! we're going for bioactive and i want to add more variety of textures and climbing opportunities. my adult crestie needs some fresh plants to mix it up a bit and i'm going to add a leaf pile since she likes to rummage in the moss and leaf litter we already have :)

Good on you man! I just added UV lights to my leo's tank and am a little worried the extra light will make them feel more exposed. If I do notice that I will definitely get some more fake pothos plants. Though maybe I'll try growing some real ones.

I actually have a multiroom Leopard gecko viv from a converted bookcase. Each room with a different function and slightly different parameters. The rooms are designed so that the most brightly lit and warmest are at the top and over the three levels it gets cooler and darker. All but one room has a heat source, either heat mats under slate or a DHP in his upper room. He loves the round windows in the bottom two rooms as he can look through them and still feel very enclosed and safe. What has been great to see is that he has learnt that when he goes into his feeding room (he can hunt freely without the insects getting out into my room) I will come over to him and give him food.

Honestly I would use any thing that would look natural to their habitat and would look vibrant as well. Plus I am getting a Tokay myself for my birthday and I too would be posting videos about it. And the reason why I am getting a Tokay gecko is because of your Tokay videos. They showed me that they are not that bad and I would always watch your videos of the tokays more than any other videos. You inspired me to get a Tokay and you inspire all.I would LOVE to see MORE of your tokay gecko videos i love them. Keep up the good work

QOTD I just added a natural straw nest with three sections into my Varanus prasinus (green tree monitor) Chomper's enclosure. The purpose of it will be to encourage foraging behavior by adding feeders into one, two or all three of the openings. Chomper was truly intrigued by it after just one feeding session. For just a few dollars, Chomper has a whole new way to forage. 🦎💚

The average lifespan of a Tokay is commonly known to be from 5 to 7 so the fact that he’s alive for 9 years and still super healthy means the average is probably a lot longer just people have bad care😊.

I’m confident this estimate is based off of misinformation! I’m confident with proper care these geckos live well into their 20s.

My ball python always seems interested in plants while exploring! He'll spend a lot of time tongue flicking them, and climbs rapidly onto the large Pothos vine when given the opportunity. I want to enrich his enclosure by adding in live plants! I have a couple plants ready for him, but I need to find the cord for the grow light and get that set up so those plants can establish and thrive. Why I ever stored it separately... 😅 organizing clutter isn't a favourite activity of mine, but caring for my snake is, so...! Perhaps all of us in this home can have our environments improved by this endeavor. 🌱

On the contrary, by adding things to the terrarium, the space becomes usable to the animals. A large open terrarium is wasted space if there isn’t anything for the animals to climb on and in if that makes sense?
