Feeders found from outside always have risks of carrying parasites and sicknesses. If you are able to find a captive bred colony or a seller, great. Make sure that the feeders are no bigger than the space between the animals eyes.
like all live feeders a stable source of food and water need to be provided if the feeders are being left in over night. If there is not the locust will resort to its next best option, which ultimately would be your leopard geckos eyes or finger tips.
Yes geckos are like any other reptile that feeds on insects. Geckos are present mostly in the warm and arid regions throughout world. Locusts are also abundantly found in these regions. Hence locusts are a major food source for geckos.
Locust's are or can grow to be very large insects depending on species of locust. Any gecko, regardless of species should not be consuming live feeders bigger that the space between the geckos eyes. Yes, approptiately sized locusts would be acceptable for tokay geckos. Don't forget to gutload and dustfeeders prior to feeding.
Tokay geckos are native to North Eastern Asia. Including: Vietnam, Malyasia, Indonesia.
The Chinese water dragons cannot live with the Tokay geckos because they will feast on them.
Tokay geckos are known to be the "pitbull" of the gecko family. They tend to be very territorial and aggressive, although can be hand tamed.
No, Tokay Geckos may be more violent but Bearded Dragons are bigger.
It's a Hoax..
Tokay geckos do not show the hemiphorical bulges like leopard geckos or cresteds. males have pores (as do all male geckos but they usually have a bulge) that are lining their "vents" these pores are where the male anatomy is contained. Pores are darker coloured spots along the geckos vent.
A tokay geckos natural instinct is to defend one's self. A tokay will bark to ward off predators, call a mate, stress, or simple exhaustion.
Tokay geckos are one of the largest and strongest species of gecko. They are insectivores with great speed and maneuvering ability due to the setae on their hands and feet. In my experience, these animals will not show interest into anything other than live feeders. If one is wishing to provide a treat for the Tokay gecko, try feeding appropriately sized roaches, horned worms, silk worms and Ive been success full in feeding Tokay's Repashy MRP
Tokay geckos are one of the most aggressive gecko species. They're often reffered as the pitbull of the gecko world. These animals do not enjoy handling. Your presence is enough to startle this species.
Some can be tamed, maybe if you got it young enough. But short answer, no. Tokay's are notorious for being rather nasty tempered.
I would only keep one Tokay per tank, especially a male. They can be highly territorial.
Yes. The tokay geckos primary form of defense is its agile speed and ability to scale vertical surfaces. if that doesn't work, they will bark and bite.
