Why captive bred is the way to go (pics)

[T-ReXx]

I just thought I'd post some pics of one of my captive bred tokay juvies. This is Maui. He's 4 months old. Notice the lack of blood on my hand. Maui is the perfect example of why buying captive bred animals is always a good idea. Tokays have a bad rep for being aggressive, and most of my wild caughts are very much so. However, when you spend a bit more money, take some time to show the gecko that you are not a giant who has gecko-steaks on the mind for dinner, you can get something like this:

Thanks for looking.:main_thumbsup:

Amen to that, buddy. Lead on with the puppy-dog tame Tokay!

I have a friend who is intrested in a Tokay. Was telling her about you.

wow nice camera, and very very nice tokay, did he go thru an aggresive phase or has your tokay always been chill

Awesome camera! What are you using?

I'd love to get a tokay, and for sure it would be captive bred. You have a nice gecko for sure.

Maui is captive bred. He's a little on the testy side in his cage(growls at me) but is fine once he is picked up. He has always been this way.

Lol believe it or not it's a point and shoot. It's an old Olympus D-490 Zoom using the macro setting. I've found you can take good pics with a mediocre camera as long as you use good lighting and learn the camera setting well.
