We lost one of our first gecko, Whitie, yesterday. She had been perfectly fine without any symtoms, she even rushed out from her hide to eat a silkworm the night before. But then within 24 hours, she was at death's door. Her tail deflated over one night, her body bloated, and her belly is pretty much black. She was not very responsive when we noticed her condition, and we knew she only had hours to live.

We do not know what caused her to leave us so fast, sudden organ failure? Fatty liver disease because she is too fat?? We'll never know the answer, but we just hope she was not in much pain when she left.

We love you Whitie, you will always be a part of our gecko family, we won't forget you.

Baby Whitie, when we first got her in 2002, I think she may be 2-3 months old then:

She is so tiny, looks like a little chick on my hand:

Whitie loves her humid hide, she is in there 90% of time (picture taken mid last year):

Whenever I flip open her towel, she'll know its dinner time, and will come out right away:

This is the very last picture I took of her about 2 weeks ago, wasn't the best picture. I seldom take my geckos out on purpose to take pics, and so we don't have a whole lot of daylight pics of Whitie.

I am sorry to hear that :( I am sorry for both of your losses. Just think of it this way, whenever you feel sad just remember all the good times you had with her :angel:
