Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

new tokays
ok, i went to the reptile show today and picked up a male w.c. tokay and a famle c.b. i got them both from different breeders. the wc was 8 bux and looks thin. the cb one was 45. and the only female at the show. she looks beautiful. very healthy and fiesty. im going to quarentine them both for 3-4 months. my main consern is if the wc one has any worms, or parasites(which im sure it does). what can i do to get rid of them. and after the quarentine period am i going to be able to put them in the same cage and not worry about the wc one giving the cb one any parasites.

Anything WC should (at a minimum) have a full fecal done, and a vet check may not be the worst idea either. You don't want to risk missing something that the WC has built up some immunity to that could kill the other one.

a fecal will usually run between $10-20 depending on the vet, (plus any meds if they find anything), and a checkup will cost you $30-50 (again, depending on the vet). The checkup may or may not be required (my vet will let me do a fecal without it, but I had to call a few before I found one that would).
These costs have to be considered when buying WC, because the last thing you want is the $8 gecko bringing in something that can kill off your entire collection. My guess is, being WC and thin, it likely has something that needs to be fixed before you even consider putting them near each other or using the same tools, bowls, etc for each.

Ya, have the fecal done, specially since you invested in a CB female. Most WC will be loaded with parasites. They are very hardy geckos. Chances are he is thin due to high stress factors, being caught, shipped and kept in large quanities in cramped conditions. Give him lots of hiding areas, peace and quite. Is he eating?

I would keep them seperate for awhile and make sure the wc one is gaining weight to they can be kind of a pain sometimes. I have bought 5 wc one and only had one die on me the other 4 i have had for almost 2 years now.
