My first reptile, my first gecko, Pepper has died today. She starved herself to death. And I know she didn't have a parasite because she was housed with her mate before I noticed this, and he's fine. She stopped eating about 2 weeks ago, and at first I thought she was just on a hunger strike. But towards these last few days as it got worse and she got weaker, I tried hand feeding her, I got repta boost, but she wouldn't take anything. I came home today to find her halfway in her hide... She was a beautiful girl, always loved to be held and loved to hunt crickets. I have 6 eggs from her that I am hoping more than ever to hatch, for her to live on in some way. My baby, Pepper.

I wish I had known more about pictus geckos so that I could of offered you some help. Hopefully she went peacefully, and her babies will hatch so that you have some living memories of her.
