Has anyone got any ideas how to coax a Tokay out from behind a radiator. She's been behind there for 3 days and we're getting concerned about her not eating. We've tried to coax her out with food, and even left the food there over night but she didn't even come out.
(Don't worry, we've kept the radiator off!!!)
We'd be grateful for any advice.
Answers:
It will come out on its own. Make sure that its warm enough in the room, say upper 70's at least, so the lizard will be warm enough to be active. Tokays are generally nocturnal, although I've frequently heard them calling during the day in the wild. As was already mentioned, be careful because their bites are quite painful and they don't relinquish their grip easily. Oh yeah, if it calls while its out then its a male.
What is a tokay?
Let it be, tokay geckos are VERY hardy and can go without food a LONG time. If you end up losing it don't worry, they are able to find food of their own (insects, small mice). When I was growing up I had 2 get loose in my parents house and would see them every once in a while. Tokays don't really make good pets (too agressive) if you want a good, nonaggressive lizard for a pet consider a leopard gecko, they are very docile and rarely bite anything but their food, but they are not as hardy.
idk r u my friend can i add u to my contacts write me back asap please
well rather than tell you tokays dont make good pets bc they bite, ill help you with your problem. im guessing you cant reach to where he is. unbend a coat hanger and touch him with it, and it might scare him to the other side where you can reach him. you should also try misting where he is with water to make sure he stays hydrated on his adventure.
i just caught a loose one a few days ago lol. can you slide something behind it? theres no way to coax it.maybe leave a warm tank with crickets in it near it and hope he goes in and stays in it.
Hello, they are hard to catch %26 chances are she is coming out while your asleep %26 eating..they love ceilings, where many bugs, especially flies go @ night when things cool down cuz warm air rises..so you might be able to catch her with a net in the middle of the night ..feasting..using a flash light %26 net..now you know why reptiles need secure enclosures, they are forever wild creatures who will escape if given the chance..and reptiles are slower when it's cold %26 they are cooled..I'd also leave her cage open..she might just return to it when it gets cold..if she hasn't escaped the home..Take Care :)
