I've heard that before...but I never really grabbed mine...the male I did let out to wander...and then gently grab him to put him back in the enclosure. They seemed real hardy to me....but are truly more of a display gecko.

The thing with tokays would be them tearing YOUR skin. Those itty bitty baby tokays have quite the bite.
