🟠🔵Tokay Geckos 🔵🟠

We have a few Tokay Geckos available in store. These are not recommended for beginner keepers as they are extremely skittish and getting bitten by them is to be expected.

Caring for a Tokay Gecko is very similar to the more common Crested Gecko. The only real difference is Tokays require a larger enclosure, as they get much bigger in size. They need the same decor with plenty of vertical climbing space and foliage. 🌿🦎

As always, give us a call OR drop us a message for more info. 👍🏼☎️💬
