    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

What is wrong with my tokay?

I have had 2 tokay's in a 20 tall. The bigger one is suppose to be a male and the smaller is suppose to be a female. About 3 days ago I looked closely at the female and she was dehydrated, and thin. I put her in a plastic carrier till I could get another habitat set up for her.
I got it set up tonight and she is having trouble climbing the walls. She is sliding when she tries to get up. I just put some crickets and a few wax worms in for her. Her tail had the end that looked like it was bitten off :(
 
My tokay, along with others i have heard about have had trouble climbing before she is about to shed, as for dehydration, keep misting her cage, tokays in the wild acquire there water from droplets and dew on leaves. the tail thing... i dont no, maybe the male was being aggressive and you didnt notice it before... that one has me stumped.

hope i was of some help. good luck with it
 
are you sure shes eating? as the above poster said, are you spraying her daily so she can get water?

Is she CB? WC? ( not sure if you can or cant get them) or store bought ( no clue if she is either in some cases...) Have you had her checked by a vet for parasites?
 
Yea I wouldn't worry about the climbing. Other lizards like cresties, etc have trouble climbing around shed time, so worry not. Mostly its stuck shed, I've never heard of trouble climbing before they shed. However I'm sure it happens.
