You should write a reptile magezine article on taming gecoks

@flashfang12 Haha that would be cool but its hard to explain in without showing it. Thats why i made this video:)

I just got a Tokay and he isn't mean at all. He never bites or barks even when you try and pick him up. My sis said he hissed at her twice but he never did it to me. Is this normal, I thought they were supposed to be really aggressive?

[TheReptileWhisperer]

@LyricalAppleJax They are not supposed to hiss. It sounds like your gecko might have respitory infection. They normally try to get away if they are not tame so yours not reacting to you further makes me think he is sick. I would watch him very closely and make sure he is eating drinking normally. If he doesnt act normal after a week i would take him to a vet.

do you know the background of these geckos?

[TheReptileWhisperer]

@edjorthebeast Oh I forgot to mention, when I saw Eric at the petstore, the people there would open his cage and piss him off on purpose trying to get him to bark & bite. The guys there thought it was funny and told me"see you dont want him, he is mean" I was angry & I stuck my hand in the cage and got him out myself without getting bitten, i walked to the counter & said im buying him. They were shocked lol!

Do you have any tips for taming, or trying to tame a basilisk?

I have a Male and Female and both are still crazy

your inspiring haha i love reptiles and im impressed on what you have

[PrimeBrawler]

And you don't necessarily need to take it out of the terrarium at first. You can first just pat it's back or something, so that it gets used to touching. And much later try to hold it, after it has gotten used to being touched.

[PrimeBrawler]

Hey girl, you should sit down on a couch or something while handling them, so they won't fall 2 meters down to the floor if they decide to jump.

man you got balls i once got bit by a tokay and it stung like a bitch i never went near one again

[BBRobbyB]

can i tame a white lined gecko like this ?

[reininghorses57]

@JukkaPalme100 that is what I am worried about too. With my white lined gecko, I tame him in a room (my bathroom) where it is most safe for him if he does jump.

Hello

I really like how you tame your tokays. But if i start using your method with no grabbing the tokay, what i am going to do, if the geckos jumps of my hand on the floor? Then i have to grab him or not? How do i get a tokay of the floor without grabbing and stressing him?
