Gekko gecko
(Gekko gecko)

Tokay Geckos are among the largest gecko species in the world. They are beautiful, intelligent, and often misunderstood reptiles that are fairly easy to keep and exhibit many interesting behaviors. Wild Type Tokays have a background color of dark-to-light purple-to-bluish color combined with a pattern of orange/orange-red spots and blotches. Tokay geckos have been kept in captivity for decades and are available in many beautiful morphs. Often labeled as a "pet store fodder" species, they are rewarding and hardy captives that will breed readily if kept in the correct environment. They work well in large planted vivaria and will not dig up or destroy plant life. If you want a large gecko that will work well as a display lizard and don't mind not handling your animal, tokays are an excellent choice.
