Tokay question male?

[blazetown]

I think I got this sexing thing figured out. Would these pores indicate it to be a male?

Male fo' sho'

Thanks....it's a much easier animal for me to sex ventrally than tarantulas apparently.

yep, thats a male

Wait till it starts calling. It'll drive you nuts.

My initial thought was female due to how quiet he was. I guess he's settling in still though. Now I need bigger viv and some females.

My male (have had him forever) only calls when eggs are either being laid or hatching in the cage...as soon as I hear him I can come over to see one of the new events. Sometimes during the summer he randomly calls but it's not all that common since he's got 2 girls in with him.

I actually like the sound they make...always takes me a few seconds to place.

Wow, those are pretty prominent. How old is he? I've made plans to pick up a CB Tokay at my next local reptile show, this is a handy thread for me.

A friend of mine breeds tokes... it's hilarious to me how nice they are for him! I'm not much of a tokay fan, myself, but if I could get a young female that stayed as nice as his do (until they start breeding, that is!), I'd chance it. I added a group of skunks to my collection, and while they're closely related to tokes, they are really nice so far. Just goes to show you can't judge a book by its cover!
