I'm surprised they don't eat their hatchlings

As nasty as Tokays can be, they actually make pretty good parents. They guard their young pretty ferociously.

These are really cool geckos. Nice to see some tame ones. Are you breeding them for the tame trait?

There does seem to be a genetic component to the temperament and we are selecting and holding back the nicest of them.

Cool...I always wanted to get some of these, even with the fact that they are aggressive. Never got around to it. It would be cool to get some that are calm.

The last ones I had were out of the egg less than 1 day before someone on the waiting list claimed them. Send me a PM with your email and I can get you on the list if you're interested - and that keeps the admins happy since they don't like the sales talk on the discussion threads.

I'm surprised that you can even get close to it's baby with the mother so close. Congrats though!
