Had him for a month and he has only ate one cricket? Are you sure he is healthy? If he is unactive (especially at nite), boney, has mucus comming out of his mouth, or lumps on his body could all be signs of a sick Tokay. Also you are aware that Tokays do the majority of their hunting for food at nite?

I bought a Juvenile Tokay about 2 weeks ago, I made them feed him before I bought him, because I will never make the mistake of buying an unhealthy non eating reptile again...

In only 15 days his body weight has doubled, and he has even grown in length almost a full inch (No Lie)

His appetite is enourmous he has been eating about 20 crickets a week, which is alot for the little guy. He still views me as a threat and is kinda shy about eating round me, and also kinda pickey he perfers small/medium crickets, he want hardly eat really large crickets. Thats one reason I wanted a Tokay, cause they are really big eaters.
