Sex:	Unknown
Comments:	We aquired Orpheus after we saw not-so-great living quarters at the pet store. Orpheus = the darkness of night We are still trying to figure out if it's a girl or boy, but I guess we'll have to fatten em up a bit. :)

@Quiliai-- It seems pretty tame. Took a snap, but suprisingly would not eat until we picked it up and hand fed it. :) One of the cutest things I've ever seen. I will be posting some pics soon because I am trying to figure out the gender. Thanks everyone! I hope I am able to fatten it up and bring out those beautiful colors.

Hey Aimee, thanks for the feedback! I too thought it looked dry me but his humidity is almost 100 and the temp is at 80. I think he probably needs to dry out a bit now. :)

hey Meredith - what's his humidity? in the pics his substrate looks a little dry - Tokays like to be "hot and sticky" - jungle humidity levels, you know? good luck with him. I picked up a Tokay in a similar situation about a year and a half ago, and he didn't make it - hope you have better luck!

Poor thing... Best of luck plumping her back up! I used to have a tokay... They sure are lookers! Pretty noisy though lol. Is she already 'tamed' down? Or is she aggressive?

Thanks! We don't have very many vets locally that know anything about reptiles. Hopefully I can track someone down who knows more than I and can make him eat. S/he's too pretty to be skinny.

Aww your poor beautiful tokay is so skinny! Definitely needs a vet checkup, s/he probably is full of parasites. :C

That's what I thought. Now I know it's colors are more common, but I didn't know that at the time. I thought he was gorgeous!

You got such a nice color for finding the poor little guy in a random store.
