    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hey everyone, I was just wondering what would be best for a few tokay geckos for an enclosure, I have a trio 1.2 in a 55g right now, but I was thinking about building them one out of melamine. I was wondering if anyone that has geckos similar to tokays, or someone that has tokays has ever built their own for them or do they prefer the glass aquarium? Also what do you use for your substrate mixtures? I am using some bed-a-beast right now mixed with some bark. I wanted to also know what kind of plants work best. I kind of wanted to create a "live" tank, but I am not really sure how to go about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. -Art-
 
The best plants to use would be pothos (devil's ivy) and snake plant (aka Mother-In-Law's Tongue). We use those at the store for them, and they make a lot of use of the snake plant. Lots of branches are also a good idea.

Bed-a-beast sounds good for substrate.

Good-luck with your tokays!
 
I know that this post is kind of old but I keep my tokays in a 65 gal reptarium and they do good in there they are breeding for me.
