Tokay Gecko

Gekko gecko

About

One of the largest gecko species at up to 35 cm long, the tokay gecko is named for its distinctive 'TO-kay!' call that echoes through Southeast Asian nights. Aggressive, vocal, and not interested in being your pet.

Their Eggs

Hard-shelled, round, white eggs that are glued to walls, rocks, or tree bark. Unlike most reptile eggs, tokay gecko eggs have rigid shells.

Fun Fact

Tokay gecko eggs are glued so firmly to surfaces that removing them without destroying them is nearly impossible. The adhesive is a biological cement that hardens on contact with air.
