as what i observe bro....mas pas2 ang growth if naa sa wild taas silag lawas nga daot...compared sa gi keep nga slight ra iyang tubo pero mas tambokon siya...mao na ako na observe kay ako hatchling nga mag igsuon gi keep nako ang usa ang usa ako gi buhi-an mas paspas jud ang naa sa wild...

ambot lang kaha sa uban if what ila observation ....

tokays eggs will never dent because they are made of hard shell casing....unlike the leathery eggs of LGs and other reptiles which are designed to expand when there's enough moisture...and they will shrivel when there's not enough mositure.

yes! captive specimens grow just the same as their wild counterparts. no difference at all. the only difference lang is captive bred specimens grow way much faster than those in the wild. but it also depends if nagtinarong ug care ang owner. if pagutmon ra pirme, dili enough ang food, and wala siya nigamit ug gecko multivitamin supplements and calcium powder....dili gyud mutubo ug tarong ang tokay...and this is true to any living thing.

i have my adult TGs now when they are still small hatchlings. their siblings live in our outdoor dirty kitchen. at about 7 months old, my TGs are already way much bigger and fatter than the wild adult TGs in our entire compound. Their wild siblings are thin and lanky. the difference? my pets are well fed with SWs, MWs and crickets dusted with Repashy ICB mulitivitamin supplement....and I provide them with powder calcium. I also quarantined them when I first got them and gave them the 10-day Reptaid treatment to rid them of any parasites and cure them of any illnesses which they may have acquired.

Their wild siblings however have to contend with whatever insects they can hunt within our compound and around adjacent areas. and since, they are not living in a forest where there are more plentiful food to hunt, they tend to look leaner, and growing take much longer. But that doesn't mean that they are suffering. They can adjust since they are a very resilient species.

if your pet looks small even if you feed and care for it well, chances are it is a female. the males are larger and have bulky bodies and huge heads. females are way smaller...they still have bulky bodies as adults, but their head look smaller compared to males. Females only reach approx 8-9 inches total length. Males can reach approx 14-15 inches.

well said bro gilbz, have u heard of the green eyed tokays?

well said bro gilbz, have u heard of the green eyed tokays?

these are not Tokay Geckos (sn: Gekko Gecko). These are Large Forest Geckos (sn: Gekko Smithii). People also call these green eyed tokays because of their (obviously!) green eyes and their vocalization sounds similar to the tokays. Just a related species. Not a Tokay Gecko mutation.

the head of gecko smithii (above) looks similarly built like those of gekko vittatus / sn: indonesian white-lined/skunk geckos (below)

i don't ship. you need permits, etc, to legally ship via air cargo (airport-to-airport).
