The worst for handling

Tokay Geckos are very agressive (most of them)
They deliver a vicious bite and do not tolerate being held at all

on rare occasions captive ones will warm up to you enough (as you may notice here)
but most of the time. it isnt going to happen

Its recommended that you wear thick gloves if you have to handle them...

But no... not good for handling unless you want to loose a finger or two

*the finger or two comment was a little far fetched lol.... its a nasty bite but you wont loose a finger*

Tokay Geckos are considered the "Pit Bull" of lizards...
