They're one of the largest gecko species in the world. I use to have a male that was between 13-14 inches long. The female was a bit smaller.
yea i figured, hes like 2 inches STV right now. unless i become really attached to him ill have to find a nice home for him
i guess theres a burgar king with some monster sized tokays around it, im gunna have to stay away from there or ill end up with a house full of giant geckos

That's a very bad not to mention illegal thing to do. These guys get very big and have to the ability to take down large prey like native lizards, birds, mammals, etc... Florida is having enough trouble with non-natives, no need to spread it out further.
One got loose in a pet store I worked at once. Several months later...
::cues the fog, brings up the background music::
on the way out one night, we see a rat crossing the main floor on an overhead pipe when he stops all of a sudden. We look ahead of him to see the missing Tokay coming fromt he other end of the pipe. The rat stepped forward cautiously only to wind up being grabbed, shaken like a dish-rag and thrown to the floor by the Tokay.
You do not want to be stepping on one of these by accident. If you live in the tropics, you have plenty of native species to keep the bugs down w/o resorting to letting these little monsters run loose in your house.
Seriously - these are nothing like leopard geckos...
