Picture of "Wild" Tokay From house in Indonesia.

Hi all,
I do not have tokay but really interested in it. I was originally from Indonesia and we have a lot of house geckos and tokays in the house! Not all house have tokays, but house geckos, yes! Tokay normally lives in more smaller town area and not in the big city (I lived in big city). Anyway I never seen any tokay while I was living there (heard a lot of them). So I was so curious to compare it with the CB tokay that I've saw on this board. Last night. my brother send me a picture of Indonesian common tokay, WOW! Now that makes me wish I catch one while I was living there! LOL...

That's a pretty tokay. How long would you estimate he is?
Here's a picture of mine. I'm sure mine is not a CB animal and came from the wild.

I hope your family is well after the tsunami?

Okay, here's the picture I forgot to include in the last post.

Thanks freezeframeplus, cool wild Tokay pic. There is no visual differences between wild and CB Tokays. CB's are still very aggressive but some do become handleable much more than others. I believe the farther into the breedings lines you get the tamer they will become, generations down the road. I hatch a few every year that you can tell right off the bat will be good specimens for taming. Heres a few more CB Tokays, one is of new hatchlings and one of the bigger Juvies just recently layed my first clutch of eggs from CB Tokays I hatched here at home, I'm looking foward to this new generation to hatch prob in another 60 days or so. Good luck on aquiring a Tokay, their actually pretty awsome and entertaining gecko's to keep.

Hi Jim,

Karen,
After looking at the picture again (and knew the estimate size of the tiles in the picture) I would say my guestimate that the tokay is about 9-10" from head to tail.
