If everything goes well, I will be picking up the female tomorrow or at the latest Saturday and should have the male mid-week next week. I will be taking photos, of course. One of the funny things about these guys is the row of white they have right next to their mouths that makes it look like they're always smiling. How can you not like a happy gecko?

John, I don't think I can agree that tokays are way cooler or that size is an important factor in cool, but tokays are definitely some cool-looking geckos. The spots are wild. However, I understand if your husbandry isn't spot-on with them you can easily end up with a mean gecko and while I'm not exactly quivering in fear at the thought of a gecko bite, I don't really want to increase my odds either. Of course, I was warned that this female has been known to bite, but cresties have no jaw strength so you know I'm terrified of her.

Smynx, if you have herp-keepers at the local store, it can't hurt to get a little friendlier with them for various reasons including rodent orders. There's also the possibility of having animals held for you, being given first dibs on drop-offs, etc. But I think for rodents, if you can do it, volume is definitely the way to go.
