The only reason a Tokay would stand a chance is their temper and bite. But..... Beardies have bigger teeth and can bite harder when they need to. Geckos have soft skin, easy to shred for a beardie's jaw strength.
I can't stop giggling. How did this turn into a beardie vs. gecko thread? I keep having these thoughts about beardie vs hamsters... beardie vs canary... beardie vs small yippy dog... oh my goodness! Silliness abounds!

good point! wasnt considering the toughness of beardies skin....that would be a big factor for a gecko....do geckos fight in circles too like beardies? geckos are more fragile than beardies, but tokays are awfully aggressive when they need to be.....although, i saw a clip where steve erwin got bit by a beardie and that thing was in kill mode....after re-examining, i think i change my stance and give the edge to the beardie...their skin is like armor compared to a tokay
Agreed! Definitely 2 different terrarium set ups. I have a 9 month old leopard gecko that I mist several times a day. I heat his cage with a heat pad on the bottom as they enjoy belly heat. Along with a hidebox, he also has a moist/moss hide box for him to shed in. I use a purple light at nighttime for him. My 5 month old beardie has none of these items. They only thing they have in common is they devour crickets, Pheonix worms, and Silkworms! lol

if youre misting your leopard gecko that often, he will probably be at risk for respiratory problems
you only way about 40% humidity ...60 is the max and not reccomended.... i keep my pictus gecko at 60-80 and only mist once a day, cant imagine the humidity misting 3 times a day
