    Everybody I know that served in Vietnam has asked me about "Fuck You" lizards. All I have been able to determine is it is some kind of gecko
    that sounds like it says fuck you. I have heard of people importing them from Asia, but nobody seems to know the species. Anybody out there know. Species? Availability? Special needs? any info would be greatly
    appreciated.

    Thanks

    i first encountered them in Thailand, they habitate se asia, phillipines, indonesia, bhutan, nepal, new guinea and numerous pacific isands They are called Tokay Geckos, a small to mid size nocturnal arbreal reptile that makes a variety of clicking sounds
    and the fuck you sound is actually the males version of a mating call, hell ive even heard them down in florida recently as they have now been imported to the US for many years
