FEEDING ALL MY TOKAY GECKOS + UPGRADED TERRARIUM UPDATE!

[@Reptiliatus]

Thanks so much for watching everyone! Sorry that there wasn't a full-length video last week! Let's just say I've been VERY BUSY preparing to build something VERY BIG for the tree monitor lizards! Don't forget to answer today's question of the day! As always, special thanks to my Reptiliatus patrons for their additional support www.patreon.com/Reptiliatus !

[@cara9648]

Tiki going from willing to risk it all by launching himself from the enclosure to not willing to climb your leg for it was entertaining. I think it's apart of their charm as pets 😆

[@Reptiliatus]

Hahaha he’s a cheeky monkey! 🦎😂

[@KLGB420]

Other than the fact that tokays are absolutely stunning.. watching the way they respond to you and they aren't aggressive with you and you have so much love and respect for all of your animals it's beautiful to see. I love that you share these moments with us. Your tokays, skinks and leaf tails are so cool to watch.

[@Reptiliatus]

You are so kind! Thank you very much 🙏🏼! I work very hard to build these connections with my animals and I’m so happy it hopefully shows! 😊

[@draw_pokemon97]

I’ve loved Tokays ever since I was a little kid. I got a poster of one at a school book fair in the second grade, and I’ve had it hanging in my room ever since. I even brought it with me when I moved into my own apartment, and it’s hanging in my (small) reptile room. I’ve always been fascinated by the extraordinary colors they display. It just never seemed like they could actually exist! As I got older and learned more about them I continued to fall in love, as far as their crazy personalities go. To see you working with them, taming them down, and developing captive bred populations is really a treat. Especially since I rarely see these guys captive bred. They are in the top 3 for me when it comes to species that I will be getting in the future, when I have more space and better means to care for them. For the mean time I truly thank you for allowing me to keep them vicariously through you. I always look forward to a good Tokay vid!!

[@kevinfranz9302]

Between you being a tokay whisperer and project minidragon as well as your incredible relationships with other more rare/temperamental reptiles I have had no shortage of reasons to watch your content

[@aliciaflinchum6511]

I love tokay geckos! Of course, they're beautiful, but there's so much more to love about them. I love the family unit they make. It's so sweet how they raise and care for their babies. I respect their courage and defensive behaviors. In some ways, I find that admirable. I also really love their vocalizations, though I might not love that so much if I had them as pets and I could hear them all night! I also love watching them eat. They have so much gusto!

[@Reptiliatus]

You listed some amazing reasons to love tokays! I couldn't agree more with you! Thank you for sharing! Thank you for watching!

[@daniellemarie9996]

They are definitely beautiful and it's how great you are with them, I also love how they live together with their babies

[@Reptiliatus]

You are so kind! Thank you! Agreed! 🦎🦎🦎🦎

[@SqiddlesHQ]

Its so cool when the 2 geckos both turn their heads at 8:50.

[@rochellebreeden7793]

Your tokay and the relationship you have with them is amazing. It truly shows other if you are willing to learn about the reptile in your care and work with them you get amazing results and a great pet.

[@Reptiliatus]

Wow, thank you! I appreciate the kind words! Thanks for watching!

[@LuckyStone888]

The amazing thing about your Tokay content is how you've developed a relationship. Toaky is seen as scary big bity Geckos, but you have shown that they can be somewhat of a pet. Also the Tokay Geckos coloring is second to none, If Tokay were as calm as Leopard geckos, they would overtake the hobby.

[@Reptiliatus]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind feedback! I do my best to shine a positive light on these splendid geckos! Agreed! Their colour is breathtaking! Thank you for watching!

[@beverlyjensen443]

Much of what I like about the Tokays, is YOUR enthusiasm and your patience when working with them. Oh...I SPYed those eggs in the first minutes of your post. It's nice to get it right! LOL

[@Reptiliatus]

Thank you so much! That's really nice to read! I do my best! Haha yes! I'm really excited for them to hatch!

[@ekaterinashvydkaia3200]

Making friends with these demons is incredible! Fantastic paws, insanely beautiful eyes with 4 pupils. Licking each other's hands and arms when getting to know each other. They just sing fantastically and try their best. Thank you so much, I tamed my gecko by learning from your videos :)

[@Reptiliatus]

Haha thanks! They aren’t demons though 😅! They are just misunderstood and more defensive in nature. Build that trust and they become lovely animals! I’m so happy to read that! You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@loriw2661]

QOTD: The answer is easy for me. It takes a lot of time, effort, patience, commitment & most of all, passion, to get Tokay’s to the point you achieve with yours. I love watching how amazing the relationships can be developed with animals that are “normally” not known for it. Plus, your close up shots are exquisite! 🦎❤️🦎

[@OreosSkittles1995]

Your videos are why I got my tokays and why I'm comfortable with their current spiciness. Giving them their time to build trust and the attention they deserve ❤

[@Reptiliatus]

Glad to help! They are wonderful animals!

[@martamets]

I used this video to show my dad who I have in my terrarium... because mine wont show himself to anybody else lol But seriously, I rescued mine about 8 months ago from 5 or 6 years of neglect (ofc owner didn't know birth year) and you've been one of my go-to visual references what an healthy tokay should be :) Physical condition aside, he showed to be one curious critter when given the opportunity. I don't think he'll ever willingly come to my hand like Tiki, but seeing as he's not deathly terrified of me fussing in his terrarium, I celebrate the win as it is! Thank you for sharing your animals

[@CaliAnimalLover]

I love them. I love the way they look, their eyes are so cool, and their colors are beautiful. And I do like that they can be a bit of a challenge. So you really have to win them over and they need to trust and like you to be nice!

[@jayc7660]

Can't get enough of your tokays! They're so gorgeous! For the QotD: I love how personable and tame tokays get once they're past their bitey phase! I can take mine out and introduce him to new people or take him to small gatherings and he'll just fall asleep on someone's shoulder or stretch and give licks while he's being pet. These guys are truly super misunderstood!

[@Reptiliatus]

Thank you! Great points! Thanks for watching!

[@AtypicalGirl2004]

QTOD reply: I love the relationship you have with your tokays and the huge personalities they show. Plus the colours, their reactions to you and foooods lol You have an exceptional relationship with them, where as some other sites mainly just show the odd feeding but no interactions. So I really appreciate you showing they're not just mean, ferocious biters that can never be handled. 💗🦎 also, nice foot skills 😂

[@Reptiliatus]

Thanks so much for the kind words! Great reasons! You are most welcome 🙏🏼! I think it’s important to show how special they are 🦎!Thanks for watching!

[@Reptiliatus]

Hahaha thanks 🧦

[@gabrielhenning1620]

QOTD: Tokays are just such interesting animals to look at, they look like they come straight out of monsters inc. However I specifically like watching stuff with your geckos because of the relationship you've built with them, its really inspiring and a lot of fun to watch your interactions haha!

[@jessecunningham9924]

Awesome video today! While geckos aren’t my favorite, I still love watching them hunt, and particularly the rapport you’ve built with them! The enclosure looks amazing!

[@jessecunningham9924]

Also, where does Tiki put it all? Lol. He’s aiming for a stomach ache!

[@Reptiliatus]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your continued support! Especially since you say that geckos aren’t your favourite! Hahaha must go to his thighs 😉! All jokes aside you’ll notice none of my tokays are overweight! I make sure not to feed them more than 2-3 times a week (the exception being the juveniles that are still growing).

[@RC_Murphy]

QOTD: I love how your tokays are so bold and willing to at least come forward to get food. Tiki is a riot and has so much feisty personality in such a tiny body.

[@Sherributtrfly]

These little guys are pretty! The first few times I saw them the theme of the videos was the biting, bleeding and refusal to release from the bites. I have learned you have to go in palm up toward the tummy and toward the side. Thank you for that. I’m loving the noises they make and I’m still debating getting one due to two young grandchildren.

[@stevem8131]

Love your vid! Always happy to watch the Tokay content. I used to keep lots of reptiles including all kinds of geckos. I'm an arachnid guy now.

[@Reptiliatus]

Glad you like them! Thank you so much! Awesome! 🕷️

[@chinathomas-hill1378]

It's their personalities. And the bond that you have with them for me

[@_mikolaj_]

I think there are 2 reasons why i like them 1) they are large and well, agressive as in predatorial, geckos, which are very active 2) for geckos these large they arent very anti social like other bigger geckos. You have a whole swarm in there and they dont kill eachother or anything, they just live together

[@jgfishing27]

[@Reptiliatus]

So true! They are too smart for their own good! 😂

[@samanthagwynne]

I love tokay geckos and can't wait to be able to own them! I actually went through a phase where they were my favorite gecko. I ended up getting a couple crested and gargoyle geckos though since their care is much easier and I wanted to start smaller and simpler since I work and study a lot. I'm not sure what draws me to them, probably their beautiful colors, size, and misunderstood nature. I also love the way they raise their babies.

[@Reptiliatus]

Hope someday you’ll have the pleasure of keeping tokays! You’ll love them!

[@Bebell12]

But they are a little monster

[@alexallen9640]

Nice video. And to answer your question, I like how they're one of the gecko species that have toe pads to climb on vertical surfaces along with their ability to sing and the way they look. Also, I knew about these geckos from the show Wild Kratts. I would later hear about the things people think negatively about them, but seeing how you care for the geckos shows they're nice pets. I did not know they live in families like Prehensile Tailed Skinks. 🙂👍🦎

With all geckos, for me it is their feet.. They are adorable. And quite fascinating really. And their lil faces.. Leachie geckos are the cutest I think.

[@Reptiliatus]

Haha yes they have lard feet and lots of lamellae on the pads! Really cool stuff!

[@Sherributtrfly]

I’m fascinated by their color and their various sounds. My first exposure to them was a KZbin video where one had bit a woman’s hand and was hanging by its mouth. That was a huge surprise! Later I learned that a great number of those sold are wild caught. Then I found your videos about 3-4 weeks ago. A tokay family - what a novel idea! I learned they can be housed together, they are not always viciously aggressive and Tiki will have contact with you, I will go back and see your previous videos but thanks for helping me see these guys more realistically

Tokays are so beautiful and they seem to have so much personality. I know they have a reputation for agression but that has never deterred me from wanting one.

Would you consider making a small platform for feeding that would sit on the front ledge of the enclosure? Or perhaps a temporary piece of cork to give them a better landing spot when they leap toward food offerings?

Thanks for subbing! I do not worry about removing them tbh! Most of the time I find them homes before they are around a year old but they can safely live with their parents that whole time!
