My boyfriend got a tokay gecko from the reptile expo. I recently took these pictures of it making its angry face at us.

have you heard it bark yet? And Steve as long as a tokay see you it will give you a nasty look and it has a nice bite to go with it!

yeah Steve thats the problem at 2 am. they will start barking its more like a Tokay sound thats how they got the name tokay gecko. But they are very pretty lizards, and the sounds can be entertaining when your still awake and they start talking

I'm taking care of it for a week while Tyler's in South Carolina. It's sooo funny. It's finally starting to not be totally insane and only slightly bite-y. I held it a couple times but like....not really because it's angry.

thanks! he's really active now. I didn't think he was so lively. I guess he just got used to me being around or something.
