Furnish with sturdy cork bark tubes, climbing branches, and dense artificial or live foliage to provide cover and vertical pathways. A secure, well-ventilated enclosure is a must, as Tokays are powerful and persistent escape artists.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aim for a warm side\/basking zone of around 30–32°C, an ambient temperature of 26–28°C throughout the day, and a gentle night-time drop to 22–24°C.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHumidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60–80% relative humidity. Achieve this through daily or twice-daily misting of the enclosure walls and décor, which also encourages drinking behaviour. Good ventilation is equally important to prevent stagnant, damp conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUVB:\u003c\/strong\u003e A 6% UVB tube run along most of the vivarium's width, positioned so the animal can bask within 20–30cm of the lamp. Though nocturnal (active at night), Tokays benefit from low-level UVB exposure to support calcium metabolism and overall health.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carnivorous (meat-eating) and enthusiastic feeders. Offer a varied diet of live insects such as crickets, dubia roaches, mealworms, and waxworms. Larger adults will also take the occasional pinky mouse as a treat. Feed juveniles daily and adults every 2–3 days, dusting prey with a calcium and vitamin D3 supplement at most feeds and a multivitamin supplement once a week.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eABOUT THIS SPECIES\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tokay Gecko is one of the largest gecko species in the world and one of the most instantly recognisable — a powerfully built, vividly coloured lizard native to the tropical forests and rocky outcrops of South and Southeast Asia. The Red Stripe 144 is a selectively bred morph (colour variant) that showcases striking red and orange patterning, a dramatic departure from the classic wild-type blue-grey base with orange spots. Few geckos match the sheer visual impact of a well-marked Tokay in a naturalistic vivarium display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTokays have a well-earned reputation for bold, feisty temperaments — they are not a beginner's first lizard. They are best regarded as a display animal rather than a hands-on pet, and they suit a confident, experienced keeper who appreciates an animal with real personality and presence. Captive-bred individuals like the Red Stripe 144 tend to be somewhat more settled than wild-caught specimens, but patience and respect for the animal's boundaries will always be the key to a rewarding relationship with this species.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Viperia UK","offers":[{"title":"Female","offer_id":52884535083345,"sku":"yellow-spot-diablo-105-tokay-gecko-female","price":625.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/0403\/8225\/files\/Gecko-YS-Diablo-105_1.jpg?v=1769189018","url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/yellow-spot-diablo-105-tokay-gecko","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
