Whats a Tokay worth?

[Malcara]

How much are Tokay Geckos worth? I've heard everything from $20-$100 a piece. I've been catching a bunch lately all are healthy adults and sub-adults.

unless their albinos, a beautiful hybrid mix (with a different species of lizard), or you have one thats bigger than the average size to me i wouldnt pay more than 50 dollars for one or 75 dollars for a mating pair

I can pick up normal CB Tokays at retail for $15 each anytime. Though really neat lizards their personality puts off most people thus the low value.
WC sell for $10 or less depending on quantity.

Where? And what's wrong with their personality?

Thanks,

90% of them have a nasty disposition and will not tolerate handling, they also have a really nice bite. They have been known to aggressively defend the territory they see as theirs by attacking.

Yes Mark is good people, I've made a few purchases from him and always knew what I was getting.

Funny, I was browsing some breeders because I am looking for a bearded dragon and I came across a sight that was selling tokays for 600-800. I don't know much about them, but I guess they were unusual colors.

I saw them this morning at the local franchise and they were $24.99. Pretty big gecko. I've never seen them with enough context to gauge size. Them are some big boys. I'm used to my little cresteds and the house geckos in San Diego and Hawaii.

Most of the ones I've caught are 7-9 inches from nose to tail tip, however we did catch one that was just under 17 inches long a few years back. Shredded a friends skin through double layered, insulated leather biker's gauntlets. Tore the glove apart and my friend took 12 stitches. We donated it to the local zoo. Wish I had a picture. I recently caught 3 that my dad is keeping. One is a 10 inch male and the other two are 7 inch females, and one just laid 2 eggs.
