 2 Months old tomorrow !

Wow I cannot believe how big Chewy is getting. here’s a few cool pics I took of her today


I came how this afternoon and couldn’t find Chew anywhere till I looked at the bottom corner of the tank and saw him/her with it’s face plastered to the glass staring at a kritter keeper full of crickets I picked up today LOL

thank you! he/she is definetly a beauty. I want to hold it so bad but the guy who sold it to me said not to hold them till they are 3 months old atleast but I can put my hand infront of him/her and see if she walks onto it LOL (I’m not willing to risk my fingers though!)

I just bought a pair of gloves from home depot. They’ve yet to puncture them, although they have bit me. I wouldn’t do it without gloves unless I was really comfortable with them...but you can hardly feel the bite through the gloves.

Andrew, since i trust your tokay judgement lol.... what are the exact name of those gloves? also can you hold the tokays firmly with the gloves without almost losing them? some gloves dont stay on your hands and you have to keep pulling them up..thats why im wondering..

i think he/she is big enough to hold now.. she would be fine.. and at that size a bite wouldnt hurt.. adult bights dont really hurt... they just never let go

I don’t really remember the name. Just go down to home depot and pick up a pair of work gloves.

They seem to stay on just fine...just make sure you get some that actually fit you.

Are they like "garbageman gloves"? I think they are rawhide. Typical gardening gloves?
I have a pair of those, but I can never get a pair of them where the pinky finger isn’t always gigantic on me.

I do have a pair of gloves that the palms are dipped in rubber, but the top is just a regular glove.
I mean, they work great... you can pickup a bulb with out getting burned with the things.. never tried those on the gecko either.

Sorry Camo...

I’d try to get a new pair of gloves unless you can be sure there’s no oil, pesticides, etc. on the gloves you already have.

The ones I have are work gloves. They’re much thicker than regular gardening gloves.

I think if I put gloves on it might make my gecko more nervous and prone to bite me. I’ll just wait till i’m feeling brave and just go for the gusto lol

I went for the gusto...and found that as long as I’m firm, one of my geckos will let me pick her up.
