Abstract:
Tokay geckos are a noisy fixture in Southeast Asian rainforests, issuing their onomatopoetic calls from dusk to dawn (and sometimes even during the day) from diverse perches throughout a wide range of microhabitats, ranging from pristine to disturbed areas (e.g., Manthey and Grossmann, 1997; Chan et al., 2006; Grismer, 2011). Unfortunately, these geckos (especially their tongues!) have become threatened in their native habitats by international trade, and their conservation is becoming an international priority (Bauer, 2009; Subramanean and Reddy, 2012).
