Getting a Tokay gecko

[QuartzYellowjacket]

So it's been a while, I checked my email and found a message from gecko talk saying that I haven't been on in a while. So here's an update on what I'm going to do, in a few day i'll be procuring some internet money to buy a bunch of things, including: Roaches, a Tokay gecko, two moon crabs, an airsoft gun, and whatnot. So a lot of people say that Tokay are a very good display animals, but in my eyes display animals are kind of useless, which is why I don't enjoy fish too much. Anyway I already have all the enclosures setup along with buying 20 egg-crates when I just used 6 so i'm set for a while on egg-crates. That's what I've been doing.

Moon crabs..are they the same species also sold as Halloween crabs, all purple and red? If so, those are great, very hardy pets. My son had a trio for about 3 yrs, set up in a 55. Only got rid of them when 1 of them ate his 2 cagemates after they molted. I guess everyone likes softshell crabs...

Moon crabs, Halloween, harlequin, different names for the same kind of crab.

They are pretty cool critters.I set the tank up like a river bank, sand on both sides, water in the middle. They will literally eat anything, from raw meat scraps (I used to keep turtles, too.whenever I cooked with chicken, pork, or beef,I gave little meat scraps to everything in the garage.hamburger doesn't work, too fatty and messy.but I digress..), fruit, tuna, etc. my son still keeps a molted exoskeleton on top of his TV. if you get more than one, make sure that they're roughly the same size...it cuts down on bullying

I love looking at moon crabs at shows, they look so neat! I'll probably have to get a few some day...any advice on how to prevent them from eating each other?

Trying providing free choice food (Which is changed daily or every two days) and a big tank.
