Why captive bred?
Captive bred and born tokays are becoming more common in our hobby. However, they come with a higher price tag than wild caught. So why pay more?
One simple reason: they are healthier.
Wild caught tokays are riddled with parasites and often very sickly and thin.
The cost, both physically for the gecko and emotionally for the keeper, is high and the success rate is low. These geckos have been plucked from their native environments, so trust is low and much harder to develop. Captive bred tokay does not mean "tame" by any means, but the potential to tame comes with a higher rate of success.
Don't be fooled by that cheap price tag - do yourself and your new pet a favor and support only captive bred breeders.

My name is Seri, and I own Gallery Gekko.
I work exclusively with tokay geckos, specializing in both normals and morphs.
Geckos of all ages are only sold after months of eating well, shedding properly and active, robust behavior. I want every single one of my geckos to have attentive, informed homes. I am always available to answer any questions and concerns you may have, no matter what your experience level is with this species.
Every sale comes with Creature Care Cards for you to keep handy for quick reference on care, gut loading, feeding, handling and more.

Handling
Tips
Tokays are known as the smartest of the gecko species "Taming" a tokay is a different process than most other geckos as a result. Earning their trust is a huge and important part of the taming and handling journey.
When you first bring your tokay home, please allow them a few months (yes, months) to adjust to their new environment and you. Spend a lot of time around their enclosure talking to them and letting them get used to your presence. Do not worry if they do not eat right away. They need time to adjust. Eventually you can offer food in a cup and allow them to approach you. Food association is a strong component of taming.
When physically handling a tokay, calm and confident body language is necessary. If you are stiff, jerky or scared, your gecko will pick up on that body language and react accordingly. Do not grip their body tightly. Let them relax on your hand or arm without restraining and always handle in a safe environment in case they do bolt away from you. Even the tamest of tokays may still bark and gape when handled. By not reacting to their threats, they will eventually relax.
Letting your tokay learn to know and tolerate you before handling will go a long way in gaining their trust. Patience is key. That being said, they are perfectly happy never being handled and just being admired as the beautiful species they are.

Why the 2’x2’x2’ Zen Habitats Reptile Enclosures?
Non-reflective surfaces reduce anxiety. Most reptiles are territorial and do not like their own reflections.
Front opening doors minimize stress when approaching your pet. Many reptiles and amphibians have a parietal eye which helps them spot aerial predators. A lot of reptile tanks open from the top - approaching from above can cause stress for your pet.
Bamboo printed composite PVC panels for up to 100% humidity. Allows for low to high humidity environment without the disadvantages of glass aquariums.
Humidity Shield helps retain humidity while providing ventilation. Optional 22"x 11" sheet of acrylic that lays on top of the screen to help control humidity.
Substrate Shield included. For loose substrate.
Easy to assemble – A rubber mallet sometimes helps.
