My early Christmas present.. Meet Mojo

My husband got him for me for Christmas. I am so excited, I had to share.

He is a little skinny for my liking but will fatten up in no time with all the roaches I have:D Oh and he does live up to his reputation!!!

He is quickly becoming a favorite around here. Hopefully I can get him to tame down, but I won't hold my breath.

Awww he's adorable!!

congrats, he's beautiful! do you know how old he is?

Tame? A Tokay??? Wow, you must be really good. I've never met a single tame tokay.

it's possible. kevin at nerd has raised some that are just as nice and calm as can be. :)

Thanks everyone:)

Emily I am not sure how old he is. If I had to guess I would say between 3 to 8 months.

I have seen a lot of tame tokay's also. Not in person but pics of people holding them bare handed.

I think my goal more than anything, is to be able to take him out of his cage, for cleaning and maintenance with out him trying to eat my fingers.

ah yes, he is still young. good luck working with him, i bet you can get him to calm down some since he isn't an adult and set in his cranky ways. :P

Very pretty... Awesome gift!

He is soooooooooo gorgeous! I would love to work with Tokay's, I just wonder how you break the ice with them. Snakes I can handle, but the notorius rep of the tokay bite has me scratching my head as to how the heck to even get them out of the cage! lol :D Congratulations, and excellent name btw. :gj:

I agree with Connie... they're adorable and I'd love to have one. But, while the bite of a full-grown boa doesn't even bother me, the thought of one of these guys getting ahold of me freaks me out!

Do you have a picture of the whole setup? I would love to see it :)

I was really freaked out about getting one for the longest time.
Right now I am using rubber gloves, and he can't break through those. I can feel the pressure of the bite though, and I have never felt anything like it. They are strong. If I don't get him tamed down, I will be upgrading to leather lol.

I don't have a pic of the whole setup right now, I will get one though. My camera batteries are toast so they are charging right now.

He's a beauty! I want a damned Tokay so bad! There's a pet store near me that has two there, both females at $14.00 a piece, and they're so undernourished and small... I wanna get them out of there so badly, but I don't have access to another tank or any kind fo setup for that matter :(

One question, why would you ever want to "tame" a Tokay? I want one that's gonna live up to it's reputation! :cool:

Thats a great looking lizard.:gj:

Not that I really want to tame him so much, just establish an amount of trust. In other words, I put my hand into spot clean, you don't take finger off... that sort of thing :D

Cuuuute!
