No. Very few reptiles are poisonous, the majority are perfectly safe to eat. (There are a few lizards that have evolved this protection against predation).
Additionally, no geckos are venomous. Venomous lizards include the gila monster and beaded lizard, which have the most powerful venom among lizards, and the komodo dragon, which has a milder venom combined with virulent mouth bacteria.
Other monitor lizards are also now known to be mildly venomous, as are many agamid lizards, but their venom is all so weak that no symptoms are noted by the vast majority of people who are bitten by them. (Even the popular pet bearded dragon does have a very mild venom, but you would never know it, even if one chewed on you for an hour).

∙ 10y agoNope - they're a harmless species.
Although this species is not venomous, they are pretty nasty. Tokay geckos have been known to draw blood. They do not have long or sharp teeth, it is more of a pinch. Tokay geckos are known to be the "pitbull" of the gecko family and are territorial towards other geckos and as well as their keepers. They can be "tamed" through daily handling. They have been known to show some compassion through feeding schedules and light cycles. Some Tokays will learn that once lights go out it's feeding time and will come out to grab a bite. They can be very sociable animals with their keepers.
