    Anybody who knows something about Tokays it would be helpful if you could help. My Tokay isn't sticking to walls anymore she used to always just be able to climb up the glass walls of the tank and the walls of the house but she can't anymore and I'm worried about that cause IMO that doesn't seem very normal. Shes fine to handle which I find weird she makes not ill attempts to bite but thats cause I have her out everyday could it just be that shes over stressing. Any ideas would be helpful.

    Make sure your temps and humidity are correct, has she been eating properly?
    Thanks
    Rusty
    (PS, It may be helpfull to not handle her at this time, if she is stressed, handling her will most likely make it worse.)

    Hey Rusty the temps and humidity are fine thats what was bothing me cause those are the first things I checked also shes a bottemless pit when it comes to eating so no problems in that department. Anyways I seen her up on the glass today and I've not held her in 3 days so I've come to the conclusion that she was just over stressing. But if you've anyother suggestions that be great to hear them.

    Hello,
    I have geckos, golden geckos (gekko ulikivoskii), they climb walls as well.
    I forget the term for their feet.
    But they have tiny hairs on their feet (stating the obvious, I just don't feel right not explaining EVERYTHING in a post) (sorry).
    When the tank walls are wet, they cannot climb them, unless they're crazy ninjas.
    The tiny hairs get wet and squish together (or whatever you call it).
    If that's not it.
    Then you may want to take out the gecko, try to get her to lay on her back so you can examine her feet.
    Are you using anything that could possibly burn her?
    A light wouldn't do that, geckos are smart enough to not climb on the ceiling when it is hot.
    Are there any tankmates?
    If so, you may want to think about the possibility of a fight.
    Nipping is very common with many lizards.
    Another way to examine the gecko's feet, is to hold him/her up to a clear glass wall, preferably one you can stand behind to watch as well.
    And try to get her to attempt to climb, if she does attempt, watch her feet very carefully.
    I hope I've helped, by the way, my geckos are 8 and 7 years old, how old is your's?
    Goodluck!
    Bye.
