The body is typically blue-grey to slate with \u003cstrong data-start=\"703\" data-end=\"747\"\u003evibrant orange or rust-coloured spotting\u003c\/strong\u003e, arranged in irregular rounded patches along the body and tail. Some individuals show more muted blues or denser spotting, while others have sharper contrast or larger blotches. Eyes are gold to copper with vertical pupils. The coarse granular skin texture and powerful musculature are defining features of the species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1069\" data-end=\"1225\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1069\" data-end=\"1086\"\u003eDistribution:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tokay Geckos are found widely across Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Myanmar, and parts of India.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1227\" data-end=\"1478\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1227\" data-end=\"1239\"\u003eHabitat:\u003c\/strong\u003e In the wild, Tokays inhabit humid forests, rocky outcroppings, caves, and human structures such as homes and temples. In captivity, they thrive in tall, naturalistic enclosures that offer ample climbing structure and secure hiding spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1480\" data-end=\"1795\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1480\" data-end=\"1494\"\u003eBehaviour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tokay Geckos are nocturnal, territorial, and highly vocal. They display bold behaviour and strong defensive responses, including biting and vocalising when threatened. They are best suited as display animals, and handling should be minimal. Behaviour is consistent across all morphs and colour lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u0026lt; data-start=\"1797\" data-end=\"1800\"\u0026gt;\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1802\" data-end=\"1817\"\u003eCaptive Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1819\" data-end=\"2103\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1819\" data-end=\"1833\"\u003eEnclosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e A vertically oriented enclosure measuring 24 inches × 18 inches × 24 inches (60 × 45 × 60 cm) is recommended for an adult. Provide cork tubes, branches, vines, and dense foliage to allow climbing and hiding. A soil-based or bioactive substrate supports humidity levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2105\" data-end=\"2374\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2105\" data-end=\"2132\"\u003eTemperature \u0026amp; Humidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maintain daytime temperatures of 80 to 88°F (27 to 31°C) with a basking point around 90°F (32°C). Night temperatures may drop to 72 to 75°F (22 to 24°C). Humidity should remain 60 to 80%, achieved through regular misting with proper airflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2376\" data-end=\"2516\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2376\" data-end=\"2389\"\u003eLighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provide moderate to high UVB (5 to 7%) for 12 hours daily.

Large adults may occasionally accept a pinkie mouse. Juveniles require daily feeding; adults every 2–3 days. All feeders should be gut-loaded and dusted with supplements. Fresh water should be provided daily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2844\" data-end=\"3028\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2844\" data-end=\"2871\"\u003eBehaviour in Captivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tokays are strong climbers and active nighttime hunters. They thrive in complex enclosures that provide room to climb, hide, and express natural behaviours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3030\" data-end=\"3180\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3030\" data-end=\"3057\"\u003eSpecial Considerations:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tokays have powerful jaws and will defend territory strongly.
