Tokay Gecko (Gekko gecko)

The Tokay Gecko (Gekko gecko) is one of the most striking and charismatic geckos in the reptile world.
Native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, this species is instantly recognisable by its bright blue-grey skin covered in vivid orange spots and its distinctive “To-kay!” call, which inspired its name.

Tokay Geckos are powerful, alert, and highly active reptiles that thrive in vertical, humid enclosures. While known for their defensive nature, captive-bred individuals can become calmer and more tolerant with patient care, making them a rewarding species for experienced reptile keepers.

All our Tokay Geckos are ethically captive-bred, healthy, and feeding well.
