Behaviour

Tokay geckos are arboreal and solitary, nocturnal creatures who founded the area covered by males and occasionally supervised by a female. They formed a population in which a single polygynous male mating few females. These reptiles eat what they can catch chew. In captivity, usually a house geckos eat crickets, mice, and small lizards. They can change their skin. Gecko loves to bite, especially in a state threatened. They'll open their mouth wide when they felt threatened or to be captured. Usually hissing sound stating that they are going to bite. Another form of defense is to cut-off their tail, similar to the lizard. Gecko's tail will grow back within 3 to 4 weeks after the break, but will not grow up as perfect and as good as the original. Gecko does not like to be treated, which obviously they will bite. If used as pets, gecko is the perfect pet for those who just like to see and not touching their pet.
Gecko usually live in trees, crack rocks, caves, and even under the roof of our house, in my case, they have been living in the back of my closets for years.  
During the mating season, which lasts about 4-5 months, males often copulate with females, often grabbing them with their mouths during copulation. During the breeding period, females lay eggs every month. In order to attract a mate, a male has a call that can be heard in the vast region. It's hard "to-kay" sound is repeated several times. Females approached the male from behind, and they move side to side, while the male held female in place with its teeth, biting at the neck area. Looking for a female who placed the site, and when its found the right one, its affixes the hard-shelled eggs (oval; anywhere from 3 mm to 45 mm) for a solid foundation where they are guarded by both parents until they hatch. In captivity, Tokay gecko tends to eat their own eggs.
The Tokay gecko is the second largest gecko in the world. Adult males can reach 12-14 " in total length. Male Tokay geckos are slightly smaller averaging 8-10" long. An adult Tokay gecko averages 5-7 ounces in weight, but particularly large males may achieve weights closer to 11.5 ounces. Hatchling geckos Tokay start life at 3.5 "-4" and reach breeding age in 9-12 months, but it may take up to 2 years for a Tokay gecko is to reach full adult size. Male Tokay geckos are a blue-gray body color with spotting that varies in color from orange to redish-whitish-yellow. Tokays Females are a gray body with the same color spotting and generally not as brightly colored as the males. Both sexes have the ability to Lighten and darken their skin to some degree to help them blend into their surroundings.  
Usually these reptiles is not much liked by people, but actually geckos has helped many people overcome pest problems that often interfere with agriculture, it is because they like to eat insects. Hmm, I wonder what else they could do for us?
