How About Breeding Tokay Gecko

How About Breeding Tokay Gecko ?

This does not look like a bad idea, especially for those who like reptiles. Perhaps if asked, there would be variety of reasons for people to keep a gecko. From my experience, every gecko breeder who was asked, why do they cultivate geckos? Most of them will answer that it was solely for business. And there is no other reason.
For those of you who are interested to become a gecko-breeders, surely you must have a gecko that will be grown or maintained. Whether it's for the preservation or just as a pet. In southeast asia  region, may be easier to get your geckos than in the other continent. But, I think that's  probably not  a problem now, because the gecko itself has become a commodity of exports. In Indonesia, in my hometown of Malang, to find geckos still practically easy. We can buy it at stores that sell pet, or to save costs we can look at the forest and the settlements that are often heard the voices of geckos. I myself had find a gecko in one village near my house. At that time, I use pvc pipe which I cut 50 cm long. To trap it, I put the pipe on a tree where the gecko perched. I put pvc pipe with a vertical position and I also put a few crickets as bait. As a result, in less than 1 hour, the gecko begin crawling down towards the pipe, it is because the smell the crickets, after the geckos crawled in and it's busy eating crickets, I shut the pipe and I brought it home. Easy isn't it?
When I got home, I see my catch considerably big, perhaps weighing 1.5 ounces. Then I put the gecko into a wooden box which I have previously made. And for the food, I give 1 ounce of crickets per day, and I give coconut water to drink, this is for fast weight increasing. 

For most people probably having tokay gecko is only intended to achieve  benefit greatly by selling it. With the circulation of rumors and news this makes gecko price soared with a variety of reasons, these make people more interested in finding and maintaining these reptiles. And of course this makes their presence in nature declining. If geckos continue to be hunted and traded over time these animals will become rare and really have a very high price. For its rarety of course.
