Leopard Gecko, Tokey, Cicak,

Description:

Brown spots, blue stripes and can be up to a half foot long, being this big his favorite food is the younger same species and insects, some say they can eat a little mouse...non poisonous but can give a nasty bite, he is fast and very good hunter.

Habitat:

Usually to find most Geckos they are crawling over every wall or vehicles. usually they can be found at night near lights where all the bugs are drawn to the light...nice harvest concept for them..lol They like cool dry areas and are found eating most of the day.

Notes:

This particular species is highly sought for its skin for Chinese medicine, there is no medical proof its true but anyhow they can get huge kickbacks for a pound of them, sadly i don't like to see it but how can i control it, there has been evidence they are declining in huge rates because of the market for their skins.

This is a tokay gecko, not a leopard gecko.
