didnt you just get this one after your other died? now you want a tokay? honestly I wouldnt trust you with any of my animals. You get one, it dies, you immediatly get another withought thinking everything through, and then you want to sell it?! Also, if you cant take care of a crested gecko, what makes you think you can keep a tokay gecko? They almost always have parasites, and are not usually easily handled. I really suggest you think everything over, im my opinion (and most others I would imagine) you arnt really ready for a pet now.

I am not trying to be a jerk. Just simply stating the truth. I think you made a wise choice. Your first lizard (is this you first- other than the first crestie?) will deffinatly teach you the most. Just get used to the care of a crested gecko for a year or two. You will deffinatly gain expeirence and wisdom if you stick with it, and then maybe you can expand your collection. I hope you can understand were I was comming from, as I still agree with everything I said. I apologize if you took it offensively, as I was just voicing my opinion.

Before I even ask, I think I will just say, dont ee looking for another animal right now. You wanted to get a tokay beacuse of the price... that is very irresponcibe. What does it matter if you already have a CG? Mine is a harly/flame. here are pics:




the day gecko (I would extemely discourage this as a future pet for you, as their requirements are a bit more challenging thn other geckos [atleast for this particular speicies]):




Now, since it seems that you are interested in another pet here is some advise. First off, get acustomed to the care of your CG. This is some of the most basic stuff, but you need to start somewhere. Then maybe in a year or so, reaserch and reaserch, and reaserch some more the type of pet you want to get. I would suggest a leopard gecko. HEre is a pic:



I am not trying to talk down to you or anything. I am just giving advice to you that I know I would appreciate if I was in your position. Everyone can beacome a better keeper, and there is never a point when you can say you are "done" and know all there is to know about a certain speicies. Currently I am working with the Grand Comoro Day Gecko and will be writing a care sheet soon. Just take it one step at a time.

i agree with jake 100%... and for future refrence with the chams i advise against them too especially if they are from a pet store as most from pet stores are wild cought, stressed to the max and loaded with parasites... that and they are HIGH matinance and everything needs to be perfect for them.. but yeah for future pets leos or african fat tails are good too.. if your looking for something bigger bearded dragons are excelent.. though they are BIG eaters if you get them healthy and not too young

if you get a normal morph, then they arent too bad. I used to have one... got it in poor condition for free from a freinds freind. I really liked them, and think you will too. I suggest lookng at quality pet stores, and reptile expos near you. Also look on creigslist, and kingsnake... stuff like that.

after owning both, I would say that by just a slight edge, leopard geckos are my favorite. They are vey freindly, and in my opinion, more active.
