    I saw a guy at Petsmart get bit. He screamed like a girl a sliced his arm on the enclosure pretty good. The tokay ended up losing his tail in the battle and had a brief moment of freedom. I wouldn't think it could be that bad. It's worse than an anole and much better than a Nile monitor;). Sorry I couldn't be of better help.

    Id say maybe a 3-4 on a scale. Depends on the size of the gecko.
    Tokays are vicious! They mean to bite and they mean to not be messed with. I love Tokays, they are one of my fav geckos but I sure wish they were tame!

    you can tell anyone that's been bitten by a tokay very easy. just look and see if they have a tokay hanging off them somewhere lol.
    the last time i was bitten by one it held on and chewed for about 5 minutes. it wasn't very painfull, i would give it a 2 or 3 out of 10.

    its so adorable and you gotta love the music.
    hahaha he held on for five minutes.
    i want one so bad but it wouldnt fit in my budget.
    i could go the minimalistic route and use tubs and papertowels and the such but thats just not my style.im too ocd for that and have to make everything perfect.but i have a 10gl with eco earth and an extra uth and fake plant.sooooo emperor scorpion!!!just need some more moss and some corkbark.maybe tokay in a couple of weeks...:D
