Yeah, you forgot his tonsils...:rofl:

Itty bitty teeth, I'd take a chomp from that over my macaw any day. My macaw has chomped my finger nail off before.

Great photos, as always.

I sometimes had feed my LG's, and if they miss and get my finger, you feel it. However, 99% of the time they just let go and it's no harm done :).

However, yes, teeth.

On a side note I love how people ask if my reptiles bite, and follow up with, they have teeth, right?

I usually respond with that I have teeth too, but I don't bite!

Anyone that's ever encountered a puffy Tokay gecko KNOWS they have teeth lol

Really glad I never got bit by the couple I kept. I knew when to back off though, mostly from the male. ;) I had a female that I could pick up. I've heard they bite &
hang on like pitbulls...?

Lol oh, the gape!

They bite, hang on, and shake their heads like they think they're gators... a friend of mine had one in college and decided she didn't want it. I kept him for a very, very brief period before finding him a new home. He was an angry, bitey, puffy little man lol

I found them to be hilarious. How can you not laugh at a creature that feels like it's made of rubber, sticks to walls & is blue with orange goose-bumps? And then they
bark at you!? Love to watch them hunt insects. :rofl: Adorable...but then again, I think rattlesnakes are cute too. No accounting for taste, I guess. :D

Tokays used to be exclusively a wild caught item in the pet trade and their attitude certainly reflected it. Most of them were about as nasty as they come. Today is a different story. There are a wide variety of pretty calm specimens available. You have to remember though that they are a high octane predatory creature that is also low on the food chain themselves. LOL.

And that's the same reason that various rat snakes had such bad reputations for so many years- the pet stores started off by selling wild-caught specimens. :rolleyes: Can't blame the terrified herps, that's for sure. And the stress & parasite loads they came with didn't help either. If I didn't already have "enough" pets, I'd get another Tokay, c/b for sure.
