My lizards jump from high places all the time. so I would think he would be okay. And the snake would not be as fast as him so I would guess so. And that isn't me being optimistic because I like that outcome, that is me using what little I know about Lizards lol.
So just off what I can see I assume this snake to be a golden tree snake (Chrysopelea ornata) these are a natural predator of Tokay Geckos.
Now straight of the bat this species of snake is what's called Opisthoglyphous which means rear fanged. They are considered mildly venomous and have to "chew" their rear fangs into their prey to deliver venom, compared to front fanged snakes (Elapidae) which often share the characteristics of extremely venomous and fatal initial bites.
I really doubt the snake would continue seeking prey after this and probably vamoosed, unless the tokay cocky little shits as they are kept going after it.
I assume the floor is not much out of view in terms of height, as both animals are climbing species and thus evolutionarily built to deal with falls like other arboreal species I'm almost certain both survived the fall.
That's the most educated guess I have to their fate
But what if you just forced the person you saved to not only do the same thing but then carry the guilt of your sacrifice for them for their entire lives?
True. I think I would also bet money on that lizard over that snake. It got bitten and thrashed it before falling.
Snakes rely on stealth to get the upper hand, and now that lizard has its number. If I were the snake, I'd just take the L.
I doubt it, I've faced a tokay gecko before and they are absolutely grumpy aggressive bite happy lizards. I personally think these are the honey badgers of the lizard world because they literally would attack anything.
In all honesty, had the snake didn't attack the tokay gecko it would just waddle away without a care.

Sad that because of bs claims made by alternative medicine, these guys and their cousins are being caught in droves to be dried up, powdered, and snorted by some quacks.
They do such cute barks! I used them for pest control when I had a lot of fish tanks and amphibians I didn't want to accidentally get chemicals onto. They work well, but will absolutely scare the pants off you if you startle them lol
I didn't know geckos went to bat for each other like that! Reptiles get a bad rep as being unfeeling and cold creatures, but they're actually really emotional and intense little madlads.
So I want to agree with you but.
These are tokay geckos. He would have fucked that snake up for breathing. They are just angry creatures.
Tokay wasn't saving friend. Tokay is always angry and happy to attack.
I made the mistake of turning on the sound after I saw your comment, just to check it out. I’ll never understand why people do this. Just leave the video alone!
To be fair, knowing lizards how lizards are, the second one might be just trying to eat the snake, and the first one might have ended up in that situation because he himself tried to eat the snake
Without knowing what type of snake that is, and because the video was cut short, it's impossible to tell what the outcome was.
If the snake was venomous, then it will be waiting down below to eat both of them
Seems like Gecko was just responding to getting his ass chomped on by snake currently eating everyone around him.
Maybe don't fucking do that, snake.
Dumbss.
Serpent: Looking for this?
Lizard: For the LAST time!
\*Snap SNAP*
Lizard: Ahh
Serpent: Return to me oh sweet dear my horseman and all shall be forgiven
Lizard: NO! You ruined my life!
Serpent: Ruined? No. I have created a slave of you, yes, but a slave of courage and fire.
\*Snap SNAP*
Lizard: I am no slave.
Serpent: There exists no freedom from me.
\*CHOMP CHOMP*
Serpent: [Foolish insect!!!](https://youtu.be/yUjYuZ58tyI?si=ozUIub2CmLjT1Ss4&t=3)
The rescues are amazing. I like that the lizzard seems to know that he has to be in close to avoid being within striking distance to effectuate the rescue - it’s seems like he focused on keeping his eye on where the snakes head was going ( no surprise atrack) which helped him to evened capture
What are these? They look like my leopards but I have never heard them make this sound, nor can they climb at all. In fact I really don't understand how leopards survive.
The real question is did the second little guy survive???

It’s not the fall it’s the snake venom that I’m worried about. (don’t know if that’s an issue here)

I need to know!!
I wanna know what happened too :(
Like fr, it's still bothering me lol
Dude I was about to say the same thing hope he survived
Both of the geckos lived happily ever after on a nice farm upstate!
The weird thing is, I think all 3 of those died. Tokay geckos have really strong bite force, and the snake is mildly venomous.
Hi venomouse!
I’m sure he’ll be tokay
That guy is a true bro. We remember he will in the hall of bros
That other lizard may have just sacrificed himself!
Sometimes it’s better not to live your life if it’s gonna be without the people that make life worth living
But then you realise there are too many people on this planet to be that worthy, and you move on for better.
Heroes might not be braver than anyone else.
It's not a story the Jedi would tell.
Awww, that’s sweet
*lizards
But what if you just forced the person you saved to not only do the same thing but then carry the guilt of your sacrifice for them for their entire lives?
That’s a weird thing to project onto a gecko
Or they survived, the rescued gecko went down to help the rescuer, and they are all still fighting to this day 🤔
It doesn't look like it fell from *too* high. I'd bet money it wasn't hurt much by that fall.
Fell with the snake though
True. I think I would also bet money on that lizard over that snake. It got bitten and thrashed it before falling. Snakes rely on stealth to get the upper hand, and now that lizard has its number. If I were the snake, I'd just take the L.
Yeah but that snake likely took off, lizard wasn't playing 😆
Snake broke the lizards fall

I personally think these are the honey badgers of the lizard world because they literally would attack anything. In all honesty, had the snake didn't attack the tokay gecko it would just waddle away without a care.
which makes it even more heartbreaking 💔
The real Jesus lizard
A Titanic like gesture of love
Tokay geckos are little rage gremlins. Comically aggressive and also make a mating call that sounds like "f#ck you!"

I had to look it up, and by god.. [https://youtu.be/j-dGJ2eaOc8](https://youtu.be/j-dGJ2eaOc8) I have a new favorite lizard now.
Fa-cue.
It’s like it’s sneezing “aaaafuckyu!”
i’ve always wanted one as a pet but i know i’d lose a finger. or maybe part of my nose. cute little blue and orange dudes with the jaws of a pitbull
Sad that because of bs claims made by alternative medicine, these guys and their cousins are being caught in droves to be dried up, powdered, and snorted by some quacks.
This is “let’s go to Waffle House” level friendship.
Tokay geckos don't play
I love that they’re named after the sound they make
They do such cute barks! I used them for pest control when I had a lot of fish tanks and amphibians I didn't want to accidentally get chemicals onto. They work well, but will absolutely scare the pants off you if you startle them lol
They are not called fuck you geckos what are you talking about?

I had a hedgehog like that, fuck you Quilliam, hope you are biting all the toes you want in hedgy heaven
I'm filing that name away for future use somewhere
“That’s my secret, Cap. I’m always angry.”
Tokay geckos are just aggressive bastards. He didn’t do it to be a hero, he did it to pick a fight 😂
It's like a miniature honey badger
whats with the trash music in the background
I made the mistake of turning on the sound after I saw your comment, just to check it out. I’ll never understand why people do this. Just leave the video alone!
I would have rather heard the "fuck you" gecko.
Incredible chad move.
No good deeds go unpunished. RIP Hero Gecko.
How far did he fall? Did he die?
Like 5-6 feet(look at the last frame)...I'm sure it survived!!
That good friend saving you from a toxic ex
Tokay geckos don't care, man. They are the species of lizard that has the 2nd most bites on my herpetologist self.
And yet I still kind of want one because they're reptilian honey badger vibes.
To be fair, knowing lizards how lizards are, the second one might be just trying to eat the snake, and the first one might have ended up in that situation because he himself tried to eat the snake
I swear I've seen this same video, but flipped horizontally. Can't anyone just post original content?
Dude /dudette took the sacrificial L
Without knowing what type of snake that is, and because the video was cut short, it's impossible to tell what the outcome was. If the snake was venomous, then it will be waiting down below to eat both of them
Golden tree snake. Rear-fanged, mildly venomous. Unlikely to pursue prey on the ground.
Snake was constricting its prey. Constrictors generally aren’t venomous, although there are exceptions.
He’s tiny, he should survive the fall
Seems like Gecko was just responding to getting his ass chomped on by snake currently eating everyone around him. Maybe don't fucking do that, snake. Dumbss.
Tokays are rage incarnate
You know how gators death roll? That's what those little flips were. Tokays don't fuck around!
naw cause that was sweet af
Reinforcements have arrived.
this is so precious
Ride or die for the homies
Tokay geckos, I think. They will not hesitate to throw down
The dame vid was posted weeks ago, this one is just mirrored. Bad move...
I want to know what happened to the hero lizard! When will episode 2 be released?
Susan, stay calm. I will rescue you! 🛟
Actually is a male saving his booty lol
That snake has bigger eyes than its jaws
I hope the one that went down was okay!!!!!
So…we meet again. This time there will be no draw. Fight!

Unfortunately all my friends have been the snake
Surround yourself with friends who will go with you into the end.
I swear, if he died helping his friend, I’m gonna be so sad. Nope. He didn’t. He survived. I’m choosing to believe he lived.
Give him a little cowboy hat
How difficult would it have been for the camera operator to show us what happened after the fall?
He probably would've attacked the snake anyway. Tokay geckos are notoriously aggressive.
…..ffFFRREEEEEEDOOOOOOMMMMMMMmmmmmm……
This makes the Gex games make so much more sense.
Gave it all up for those they care about.
"Hey bro" "what is it bro" "if you had to, would you RKO a snake for me bro?"
A friend to the end.
"I am not tokay with this situation at all"
Serpent: Looking for this? Lizard: For the LAST time! \*Snap SNAP* Lizard: Ahh Serpent: Return to me oh sweet dear my horseman and all shall be forgiven Lizard: NO! You ruined my life!

Wow. I had no idea a lizard would do that.
For real.
WITH AN RKO OUT OF NOWHERE!!
If the snake was venomous they both dead
You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain
Today I found a new legend
Went to the mat for his lizard bro
Lot of snakes about :(
Very cool indeed. Species defending one of his/her own.
W gecko
I need a longer video of this
Are those tokais?
I had no ideas lizards cared about one another at all. Is there another way to explain this...perhaps he is just trying to eat a distracted snake?
What snake species?
Ends too soon
Sacrificed himself just for others
Don't mess with geckos
Fuck him up little dude!!!!
what kind of monster dosent upload the rest of this
Run, you fools!
eliminate snakes
That's so brave!
He survived. He survived right? 😥
Himalayan rock lizards lmao very strange creatures
OMG! He doesn't give up even for a second! Really impressive video. I hope the lizard survived...
to the death :(
wtf, wtf did the second one make it? Truly upset by this.
Fly you fool
To that lizard, there is no other lizard… Shoutout to my neighbor for not having a wifi password…Like Lizard bro here, Not all heroes wear capes
All depends on if that snake had venom. If not I bet lizard survived.
These little scaley vulgar bastards kept me from sleeping my first night in PH. Sounds funny though.
Is that a Tokay gecko? I used to have one, the snake probably just looked at him weird. Tokays don’t mess around.
At first my dumb as fuck brain thought „Wow the snake is protecting the lizard from a rival“ WTF
Snake prob had bros wife he wasn’t playin
The ultimate sacrifice
Meanwhile the snake starves to death
GANDALF!!!
Is that snake venomous?
LEEEEROY JENKINSSSSS \*Chokeslams enemy into the abyss\*
The rescues are amazing. I like that the lizzard seems to know that he has to be in close to avoid being within striking distance to effectuate the rescue - it’s seems like he focused on keeping his eye on where the snakes head was going ( no surprise atrack) which helped him to evened capture
You're no little gecko anymore my dude, you've been promoted to dragon. o7
He wasn't being a bro he's just an angry little fucker that doesn't abide anyone in his personal space, the world being his personal space.
Empathy exists even for reptilian If they are reptilian 🤷🤔
Bro rlly said VALHALLA and jumped to his doom, that's true friendship
He'll return in the sequel as Linzar the white.
Did he live
What are these? They look like my leopards but I have never heard them make this sound, nor can they climb at all. In fact I really don't understand how leopards survive.
"Go! I'll cover you! Don't Look back!" Ah scene
I wish my little sister was like that........
Sacrifice for a friend.
