We just picked up a Tokay about a week and a half ago. Since then, it's been re-housed in a large tank, approx 2' wide x 2 ' tall x 3 feet long. The tank he was in at the store was about 1/2 this size. It's got a hide, a water dish and we've given him/her crickets every few days (assuming he/she is large and would eat no probs). This guy/gal is about 10-12" long and quite stout - sorry we just got him and haven't had a chance to actually measure him or try and figure out what sex it is yet.
Here is one of the pic's we've been able to take:
To date, it has not eaten a thing and just sits either in it's hide at the back or behind it at the back. It's only vocalized once and that was the other night when I was giving him crickets.
I'm worried that the crickets in the tank may bite him and that he may also be getting dehydrated. I'm not sure how to handle this - this Tokay is very vocal and very bitey! When the guy in the pet store was taking him out of the tank, he was LOUD ! lol. Also, does anyone know how these creatures are sexed?
Does anyone have any suggestions? I would appreciate any ideas/info.
