Today I got one of my dream geckos — a Tokay 🥹😍 I think it’s a female, am I correct? Also, read below for more details!
I am sooo excited to finally add a Tokay gecko to my little home zoo 😇 I’m an experienced reptile owner of about 10 years now — I have 4 leopard geckos, 2 madagascar day geckos, and one chinese cave gecko. I’ve also taken care of some snakes over the summer in the past.
I’ve wanted a Tokay for years now and I finally found this pretty girl (?) at my local small-business pet store. She was surrendered along with almost 20 other reptiles that were neglected, including 5 cresties without their tails! 🥲 Apparently all the reptiles’ tanks including hers were in very poor condition, but she seems to be in pretty good shape considering the circumstances. Her age is estimated to be around 2 years old, but obviously this may not be accurate.
I’d love any advice regarding the sex, age, how healthy she/he looks, and anything else that would be helpful when dealing with a surrendered Tokay! :)
