Maybe you're handling her too much or she doesn't like the temperature of her enclosure?  Can't think of why else she would be refusing to eat, unless she's sick.  It might be worth taking her to a vet just to be safe.

Ah, I just commented about her on her profile because I saw that link before this one. Unless she is captive bred and was raised on handling or was her previous owner kept her as a pet (not as likely), she should not be acting that way. Very few CB Tokays are found at expos so she is most likely wild caught and stressed from import and moving around. I agree with getting her to a vet to be checked out as she very likely needs worming at the least.

Some Tokays can learn to except handling and interaction, but they are no where near Leopard or Crested Geckos in personality and it isn't good to consistently force them. They have been known to go on hunger strike when there is too much interaction and even movement all around their tank. Does she have enough vertical hides to be out of sight? What is her main tank temperature and hot spot?

 +1 above  Husbandry  is always the first thing to address  .. Most tokays  are very high strung  maybee give  it some privacy and see if it will take food

I agree with Kita. Never in all my years have I met a Tokay that can be handled easily. A lot of reptiles with 'tame out' if there is something wrong. The wild caught theory sounds very plausible and if so, Kita is right again; you will need a wormer at least.

If it were me, I'd quarantine her from my other reptiles, keep her in a quiet place with little or no house traffic and temperatures that you can keep generally stable like a bathroom with the AC vents closed. I'd whip out my handy dandy temp gun and check the hot side and cool side and all that, and check the humidity levels, make adjustments, leave, and check back in a little while. Just give her some time to cool off and do what you've got to do as quietly as you can. And then I'd call a vet and explain the situation. I would hate to put her through a vet visit if she's really that stressed, but it might save her life in the long run. I would just try to let her calm down a bit before I brought her in.

All in all though, you should bring her to the vet one way or the other.

Along with everyone else, I agree. It could be the husbandry of the animal, stress from the moving (WC or CB...it's still going to stress) or it's sick...but hopefully not sick.  I'd say check your temps and humidity, and leave the animal be.  Tokays aren't good "handleable" geckos as they are naturally extremely aggressive and their bite hurts like hell, even at a small size. Leave it be, and keep an eye on what it will eat.  If it still doesn't eat after some time, I think it may be time to see a vet.

I grew up with 3 Tokays that I had for years and they got very large.  I went through quite the amount of crickets per week and they would occasionally take adult mice.  They were voracious at feeding times.  But, over the years, with steady work, they became handleable and actually, great to have outside the tank.  So don't push the handling until it's completely acclimated and eating.  Unfortunately, when that happens, it's doubtful that gecko will let you handle it as it does...but ya never know!  Good luck!

welll i just checked on her today and i found that she had shed could that be the problem. i read the dont eat when they are in the process of shedding

Could be, I would put a cricket in her enclosure and see if she goes after it, if not it may still be something with the temperature or stress.

If a Tokay Gecko is not biting the piss out of you every chance it gets I would call it sick!!  I have never seen on that was able to be handled without leather gloves or the risk of a painful bite.  Something is wrong.  Can you give us the temp range and cage set up?  Tokays are awsome but mean.  I know some people have said they could handle theirs, but I have never seen one personally.

8 of the 10 adults I currently have and have had (5 being WC) I could free handle. I have photos from Houston's NARBC of 2 of my big males being held by little kids, sitting on the table like a Beardie being pet by passer-bys, and I had 4-5 on my shoulders at one time walking around. Tokays do not normally go out of their way to attack and be aggressive. It is their natural defense response to bark and bite that which they feel threatened by and pretty much all start that way with the exception of some CBs, but with proper interaction (not meaning daily pestering) some can learn to accept handling IF they want to. I've found these animals are extremely intelligent and some just don't ever want to be handled. A person wanting to keep Tokays needs to understand and more importantly respect that because it is not fair to try and force an animal to submit.

Wow... I know tokays are high-strung, but here in the Seattle area we have a couple of breeders who have wonderful tokays that are completely handleable by their owners.  However, there is a caveat to that... one of my friends who is the breeder came up with a suggestion, which makes sense to me.  Tokays, from my understanding, when they reach breeding age can pair bond to their mate.  I've even heard of bonded pairs being split up to go to new homes when the owner could no longer keep them, and after a couple months of continuous "calling" by one or both animals for their lost mate, the animals had to be reunited for their own well being.  

So, with Tokays being capable of pair bonding with a mate, I believe they can also bond with a keeper/owner if you get them young enough.  It's hard to tell from the one picture of Luna just how big she is, and the not eating is worrying.  If you still have the info from the breeder (for a tokay to be handleable at all at a young age, I firmly believe it is CB) I would contact them and ask for more details as to this animals specific history... how was it being kept, what were they feeding it, how often she was being handled, etc.  Seeing has how it has only been a couple weeks since you got her, I would try to limit the handling for a week or so, and give her some time to settle in, make sure she has access to water, whether that's a shallow dish or keeping up on the misting so she doesn't dehydrate and most of all, don't panic... too many changes too quickly can stress her out more.

It also wouldn't hurt to have a fecal run to rule out parasites, even reputable breeders get parasites sometimes.

+1 Kita, My Tokay seems to eat more often when I am not constantly checking on her and looking at her, etc. She'll go for days without coming out of her hide when I clean her tank. It's hard, but I've learned to leave her alone, except to change her food out and spray the cage down. She's just one of the ones thats not going to be tamed. She was probably wild caught as I got (rescued) her from a pet store who didn't know what they were doing.
