This is Bitey, my juvenile tokay. I took some pics of her today while cleaning cages--and I think it may be a female. I see no bulge at all. She's about six inches total length, and weighs about 25 grams. Is this too small/young to tell still? I do not see pores either. Opinions?

The temperament is exactly what you've probably heard about tokays. They will bite and lunge and run around like crazy. I think it's just mainly that they scare so easily. I have tried getting her more used to me, but she just really seems to prefer being left alone, and so I don't force it on her. I've had a good deal of success with taming up my pair of halmahera geckos, but they aren't nearly as outwardly aggressive.  I have, however gotten my tokay to eat CGD, as she loves it.
