Hey,
I'm really interested in getting a breeding pair.. as the only geckos you can seem to get around here are leos

Anyone got any knowledge on them from personal experience or just reading?

I've heard they're real nasty.. but surely if bought as a hatchling and plenty of handling like anything it will get tame

and I've heard the noises they can make, there pretty darn loud and nasty.. but do they simmer down?

Any help/info would be appreciated.

Im thinking of buying two from www.exotic-pets.co.uk

Tokays are very nasty and take a lot of work they have a natural instinct as soon as you pick them up they open there mouth and sometimes bark. They are also nocturnal so they sleep all dayif you decide to get one akesure you get him/her a home that has a way for you to get him/her out. My tokay's home only has one exit and with his sticky pad feet he prys himself up in there and just barks. I have heard of people tameing there tokays it just takes a lot of time and patience.
