If we sell these creatures in massive quantity.
Outbreaks of Dengue, Flu and other Plagues will fall unto us in the next 3 years!
These creatures form a crucial part of the food chain. They control the growth expansion of pests like cockroaches, small rats, mosquitoes, etc.
The only buyers you can get are MIDDLEMEN - pretending to be the Principal or END CONSUMER.
Don't be an ignorant!
Be informed.

I hate to pour cold water to all of those who still think this is true...
According to Wikipedia...
The Tokay Gecko (Gekko gecko) is a nocturnal arboreal gecko, ranging from northeast India and Bangladesh, throughout Southeast Asia, Philippines to Indonesia and western New Guinea. Its native habitat is rainforest trees and cliffs, and it also frequently adapts to rural human habitations, roaming walls and ceilings at night in search of insect prey. Increasing urbanization is reducing its range. In the late 1980s and early 1990s it was introduced into Hawaii, Florida, Texas, Belize, and several Caribbean islands, where it can be considered an invasive species.
The Tokay Gecko is known as a Tuko or Toko in the Philippines, Tokek in Indonesian/Javanese, and tắc kè in Vietnamese, for its characteristic vocalizations. People have mixed feelings about it ranging from terror of the belief that its feet can tear your skin off to admiration for its entertaining vocalizations;[citation needed] in the Philippines, most people respect it and value it because it eats dangerous pests such as scorpions and giant centipedes.
The Tokay Gecko is the second largest Gecko species, attaining lengths of about 30--40 cm (11--15 inches) for males, and 20--30 cm (7--11 inches) for females, with weights of only 150--300g (5--10 oz).
(Inuulit ko... 150 to 300 grams lang po ang pinakamalaki! - nak ng pating!)
They are distinctive in appearance, with a bluish or grayish body, sporting spots ranging from light yellow to bright red. The male is more brightly colored than the female. They have large eyes with a vertical slit pupil. Eyes are brown to greenish brown and can be orange or yellow.
Males are very territorial, and will attack other male Tokays as well as other Gecko species, as well as anything else in their territory. They are solitary and only meet during the mating season. Females lay clutches of one or two hard shelled eggs which are guarded until they hatch.[1] Tokay Geckos feed on insects and small vertebrates.[2]
The typical lifespan is 7--10 years, however in captivity some Tokays have been known to live over 18 years.
May alaga din po kaming Tuko sa bahay ng Lola ko - 18 years old na ito that time... pero, wala pang 300 gms. ito. Kaya
GISING NA BAYAN!... HUWAG MAGING TANGA!...
Bago Makiloko sa mga Nang uuto na mga Con Artists - ugaliing mag siyasat at manaliksik...
Napakasimpleng mag research gamit ang Google.com.
OKEY Tockey???
Minsan... nakakpika na talaga... ang Dami pa ring tanga sa pinas... kaya ang bagal ng pag usad ng bansa upang maging progresibo.
Ipagpaumanhin ang brutal na pananalita... nais ko lamang po bigyan liwanag ang karamihan na itong kalokohang ito ay isang malaking kasinungalingan at krimen laban sa kalikasan.

And to all this is the net huwag maging one sided sa totoo pero let's face it...totoo may nangyari ng bentahan kaya nga talamak....pero this does not mean na eradicate natin ang specie na ito dahil kawawa naman sila I do have many exotic pets and they are one of them mga nahuli ng mga ungas kaya kinuha ko para i breed kesa mamatay sa kamay nila not for sale and when the time comes pakawalan ko sa likod namin dahil malawak naman bakuran ko para dumami sila doon...

@groundcrazy The best place for them is in their natural habitat. If you spoil any wild creature... chances are... they will never be able to survive nor multiply for that matter back in the wild... not even you big backyard. Aabangan lang yan ng mga pusa ng kapitbahay. Dont push your luck... you are barking on the wrong tree.
