Do Tokay Geckos make a lot of noise? Do they make good pets?
Tokays are so named because of their distinctive “TO-kay! Tokay!” loud calls. They also emit a trilling sound. They are loud. Tokay geckos are renown for their ‘feisty’ disposition Most wild caught specimens immediately open their mouths in a defensive display when any attempt is made to handle or restrain them. A very painful bite generally follows if the display is ignored. However, some Tokay geckos do become accustomed to handling if they are exposed to it from a young age. Tokays are primarily nocturnal, so you may not see them very often during the day, but they will come out at night. If you have 2 males they will fight and severely injure each other, but multiple females can be together. Males can be housed with multiple females, but ensure that your enclosure is large enough to accommodate the number of geckos you have. I DO NOT recommend this gecko for inexperienced owners. You should have some experience and knowledge of caring for geckos before getting Tokays. Aboreal speci
