    this is Chewy. She (so far a she) is 4 1/2 months old. I've had her since 2 weeks old. I've been working on "bonding" with her and so far I can stroke her inbetween the eyes without losing any fingers. I'm still too chicken to pick her up but one day..........one day....it'll happen, hopefully.http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g52/camo...ts/DSC03075.jpg

    yeah it's true. it has taken a long time to get where I am with her. the way she poses for the pictures I take of her I think she's pretty comfortable around me. I can even vacuum out her tank and she's fine with it. I've heard some people can't even change the waterbowl without being attacked. those ones are most likely wild caught(i'm guessing). I made sure mine was captive bred.

    thanks! I would like to get another but I don't think I would be as lucky next time. I feel the same way about my dog. I was lucky with her too.....she never destroyed any of my stuff in the puppy stage.

    Where did you find a CB Tokay?

    It seems like all the ones that I see are wild caught.

    I got her through the petstore I buy from. One of the reptile people has a bunch of connections. I could have gotten a WC faster but I insisted on a CB. I don't think it's fair to take an animal out of the wild and cage it. I guess CB had to come from somewhere though ..... Chewy was $39.99 cdn

    LMAO!! I have so many breeder insects... today I just became the volunteer insect breeder for the Reptile Rainforest Refuge. I'm so excited. they actually charge admission there! I wanted to do something good for unwanted reptiles so i'm donating all my extra mealworms (couple thousand a month). I can't wait to post pics of the animals there if the refuge doesn't mind
