I think I just caught a tokay from outside. I cant tell yet. I will post pics soon. It is tiny. How do you take care of it?

 

[RangoDango]

well depending on your deff. of small, a 10 gallon tank should be good for now, a cocofiber or jungle soil type substrate, some foliage for them to hide in shallow water bowl, they do not need any daylights, i have mine under varying wattage of night bulbs, they are nocturnal so they are mostly active at night, during the day mine hide

at night i can watch their shadows crawling around the tank and jumping around, post up some pics asap, id like to see the lil guy, ill try to snap some more pics of the ones outside my house

if you decide to keep it, remember as it gets bigger you need a taller tank, they are climbers so ground space isn't as important as height

Awww cute! Are they aggresssive? I never actually held one...

Love the japanese names btw. XD

 

[RangoDango]

full out aggressive no, timid and defensive yes, i have yet to be 'attacked' but they have warned me when i get close to them, although they all seem to be calming down some

Looking nice...Got my babies yet? =]
For real tho are you able to house all these geckos properly? Looks like you have some in a shoe box?

 

[RangoDango]

before you go accusing me of not be able to have an appropriate environment, why not wonder over to the DIY forum and look at the 29gallon tank i just built for them

Sorry if I came across in that manner, I certainly was not doubting your ability in any way. Simply asking questions based on photos provided.
