 Thinking About Getting a Tokay

Ok Saturday Im planning on going to the All Ohio Reptile Show in Columbus, Ohio. Does anyone know if they have Tokays? Well I have a 10 gallon tank setup with eco-earth, some sticks and fake leaves. When I go I plan on getting a 75 watt infrared heat light and a screen lid. I will have most of the screen covered with a damp towel for humidity and i will mist the cage once a day. Every other day I will feed him/her dusted crickets and occasionaly mealworms. When the gecko gets to be bigger I will put him/her in a 30 gallon high tank, and i was wondering if I could buy two tokays and have them live together? Will they fight? Also I know abouth them being aggressive and if I start handling them as babies will they be tame as adults? Well anyways heres a pic of the setup.

if you are buying hatchlings the 10gal will be okay for a while, but you will not know their sex yet, so i would not put them together. if you end up getting lucky and having 2 females you will be fine (but they would need larger than a 30 gal for both of them), if you get 2 males they will fight, if you get a male and a female you will have unwanted offspring and the male will stress the female by continuing to persue her. so i would recommend just one, this will be fine because most lizards are solitary anyways.
