Newbie to the site

Hey everyone, I just found this site and thought it might be a good place to start. I have a male & female Tokay and she just laid 2 eggs. I am pretty excited about my new hobby and want to avoid as many mistakes as possible, so I will have a ton of questions. Thanks -Sarah

Hahahaha, Welcome to the forums. We have alot of amazing members here and there are tons of posts too look back on. Its never too late to contribute! If Josh ( Our website owner and only Admin ) gets the chance I was hoping he could open some sections for.
Sick Geckos
Gecko Genes. And then narrow those down to.
Sick Geckos ---> Sick Leopard Gecko
----> Sick Tokay,
----> Etc
Some thing like that and the same with the genes so its all organized and easy to look through because those are commonly talked about topics. Well make your self at home! Welcome to GT!

Do you think you could post some pictures of your tokays. It would be nice to see a comparison between male and female. I think I have a male, and one day would like to get a female. I have looked for the dots down by his tail and I think I have seen them but it would be cool so see the diffrence with them next to eachother- If possible.

I'll get some pics this weekend of them and post them. At least I'll try to They are getting better with me as far as when I put my hands in their cage they (he mostly) do not come lunging after me anymore. When I need to pick them up I wear leather gloves. I actually have only held them maybe 3 or 4 times. I try to leave them alone for fear of stressing them out.

Ya I posted earlier about picking up my tokay. All went well with out gloves. Try petting the tail then move up to the hind legs. I picked mine up by sliding my hand under his back end and going toward the front. I didnt try to pick him up untill he stopped puffing up it took about 10 minuets. But it actually worked. I only pick him up when its cage cleaning day usually 2x a month.
