Dude, i better not mess them if i were you, theyre like, hella huge and has a strong bite...literally cant sleep properly if these things dwells all over the walls at my cousin's house it just frightens me everytime i see a huge one like in the vid💀😭
You are incorrect because the name Tokay gecko comes from an onomatopoeia of the sound it makes which for some people sounds like tokay but other peoplesay it sounds like gecko hence the scientific name gekko gecko
Just live anywhere in the provinces of the Philippines and it's pretty likely one of those silly lil guys will come and make the sound of their people.
Enjoy having a group of these geckos in your room. Ideally still in the breeding season and you need sleep because you have to get up early in the morning to get to work.
I had a male tokay about 20 years ago, and just recently was able to get another one. Unfortunately she's female and they don't make this sound, but I still love her. I just miss my boy's nightly calls :(
Here in the Philippines we call that "Tuko" and when its like 5:00 pm or 6:00 pm they all amke that sound, but during day time theres no sound only evening to night
ah tuko... I think theyre endangered in the Philippines. We dont sterilise cats, and almost all cats are left outside. The cats are devestating the wildlife, they kill everything; geckos, lizards, birds, bats, frogs, snakes, wild chicken etc, like ALL those examples are just the ones i saw our cats leave in front of the door. I rarely hear these Tuko anymore...
Omg I literally said to my boyfriend that a very loud bird outside woke me up and it sounded like it was inside the room. Then later I discovered a gecko in our room by the window. Had no idea it made this noise!!
