Haha. I think he was brilliant, I really love this spunky attitude tokay's have, they might be small but you don't want to mess with them! And do you remember the noise he was making?! Sounded like someone was strangling a duck! xD

What strange colours, it's so dull and yet so beautiful the colours... just so odd i have never seen colours like it when i think of exotic lizards i think bright! I love the texture of the foot scales and eye the most!

Thanks Katy. I love his colours, those orange dots are incredible, and I agree, very unusual colouring too. ^^

Thank you. Haha, I have some of those ones from that photoshoot too! xD He was very good on the day, but omg did he make a noise! I've never heard a sound like it before! I honestly think I'm so fond of tokay's because of they're aggressiveness and that noise! Makes me have a great deal of respect for them even though they're such small things.

Of all my geckos, the tokays are the ones I feel have the most personality. I think their grumpy attitudes are very humanistic and they're not afraid to tell you to 'F**K OFF' if they're not in the mood to come out! I love my big male, Gozer to pieces but he can be such a jerk some days!
