flying gecko on death bed =[

[AllGeckos]

I just got 3 flying geckos about two weeks ago freshly imported. Well one of my female I foud laying on the floor not moving at all crickets crawling on her and she showed no intrest I took her out and she is now in a little krittter keeper she also lost her tail somehow I think not from being threaten but just bad health? (if thats possible?) But I don't know what to do honestly its not wroth the money for the vet, plus I think its too late but does anyone have any advice? I will post a pic in a little.

I am sorry your flying geckos are in poor health. That is what happens when you buy wild caught reptiles. Maybe email the seller and the 2 of you can figure something out. This is just anouther example why I don't buy wild caught animals.

 

[AllGeckos]

Yeah I agree I would prefer cb but you do gotta start somewhere!

 

[Ccrashca069]

If your still interested in flying geckos, I believe I know a breeder who is /was incubating some eggs. I will email her and see how the eggs are doing or if they hatched or maybe we will get lucky and she sees this thread

Since they are fresh imports my guess would be parisites.

 

[AllGeckos]

yeah I agree, and that would be awesome! my other to seem well I need to get them out and give them a rub down

 

[Gecko]

Are you keeping them humid? Sometimes imports need some extra water for a while.

 

[AllGeckos]

Yeah I have two live plants with misting serveral times a day she was the runt of the three and I think just doomed from the get go my other two seem fine although I cant find one right now which isn't a shock(260 gallon)

 

[AllGeckos]

died hours ago

 

[Ccrashca069]

I am sorry to here about that. I emailed the breeder last night.

Something else to consider is if things get too hot. Sometimes the tail loss is a stress thing. Also think about social dynamics. Just because they are sold as a 1.1 or 1.2 does not make it so.

 

[AllGeckos]

yeah its about 80 f I was just looking at my male and he is turning grey and his head and back half of tail I dont know if this is a bad shed or if it is something else? I still cant find my other female looked two times for about 10-15 minutes each the only thing I didn't do was reach into my ficus because I do not want to startler her I have since been looking around my room =[ (There is no way she escaped unless it was when I was in the cage)

 

[AllGeckos]

Well just found my other female DEAD laying upside down in some ficus leafs I have never had a gecko die now 1 today 1 yesterday (maybe both yesterday) then again I hav never bought wc before either I was told my females were gravid when I got them I thought that was odd because of their small size so if they were that could have been part of it my male is pretty big so hopefully he pulls strong! and to anyone out their I will be looking for some female hopefully cbb

 

[Ccrashca069]

Just hang in there. I emailed the breeder last night but still have not heard back. I am wondering if she is on her way to the San Diego Super Show.

 

[AllGeckos]

OK that's fine I need to wait to see how my male left does/ a vet visit too! but yeah I would most definitely like at least two more females! So thank you !

 

[AllGeckos]

hehe. I know I said my male is doing well, now he is laying motionless on the floor he will be dead by morning. well now I will have a empty 260 gallon tank I think I might give it a good cleaning and move my crested collection over there.
