    Exclamation Tokay Gecko Eggs

    I was at a local pet store (that my wife works at) this weekend and noticed that their pair of Tokay's laid 4 eggs. The store owner told us that we could take them home and put them in our incubator (which currently had nothing in it). The eggs were firmly attached to a piece of tank decor, so I placed the whole thing directly into the incubator. I have them cooking at about 85 degrees right now, so hopefully we will have some baby Tokays in a few months! We have no idea how long they were in there and we have also been told that they may in fact be 2 clutches of 2 eggs laid by the same mom...I guess 4 eggs are very uncommon with Tokays? This would also mean they will have two different hatch dates? We'll waite and see!

    Anyway...If anyone has any tips or pointers, please feel free to share!

    85 is an okay temp. Depending on how long it has been since they are laid you can look at a incubation time of over 100 days. Tokays can take a long time which can sometimes drive keepers nuts. My wife was doubting one of our eggs was even fertile until at 115 days it finally hatched. Short of the egg being discolored and smelling it stays in the incubator until it hatches. Good luck with the eggs and keep us posted on them.

    Re: Tokay Gecko Eggs

    Thanks! They are still incubating at 85-86 degrees. We have no idea how far along they are, so if/when they hatch...It will be a total surprise!

    Re: Tokay Gecko Eggs

    Just a quick update! Two of the eggs hatched last night 12/28/10 and the babies look great! If I had to guess I would say the second set of eggs are about 6 weeks behind them (from what I saw when candling). Here are a few picks of them!













    How soon should I offer them food? I have crickets on stand-by, but I know with some animals like BP's you are supposed to wait a while. Is that the case with Tokays? This is my first experience with Tokay hatchlings and we are super excited!

    Thanks!

    Beautiful tokays! I've never kept 'em so I don't have any advice on hatchlings, but I just wanted to congratulate the incubation and wish you the best of luck!

    Re: Tokay Gecko Eggs

    The other two eggs are still incubating, but look to be coming along nicely.

    Here are more recent pics of the little ones!







    They are already barking and biting! Can they be tamed at all...Even when young???!!!

    Oh my goodness! I have never seen Tokay babies before!! I have never seen such cute evil little monsters!!

    We have a big 35 gallon hexagon tank we want to someday use for some kind of arboreal gecko... We might have to get a little demon like this!! Precious!
