From the rules: All Tokens (shrink or poison) remain on the victims. Even if the card goes out of the game the tokens stay.
That clarification addresses what happens when Shrink Ray/Poison Spit cards "leave play" (due to monster death). I'd extrapolate this to also apply to cases where the Shrink/Poison card merely changed owners, if it were not for the additional clarification in the rules for Parasitic Tentacles:
"If the card has counters on it, the counters are transferred."
I initially interpreted this to mean that any card that has associated tokens are all gathered up and handed to the new owner. Upon further reflection, I believe this wording was meant to clarify situations arising specifically with Mimic and Smoke Cloud, rather than Shrink Ray or Poison Spit. The key distinction being that Mimic and Smoke Cloud have counters that are placed "on" a card. In contrast, Shrink/Poison have counters that are only "associated" with the the card.
