What are you gonna do with it when it's fully grown???

Only one of mine does it, my SHTCTB. She's the tamest and friendliest of my geckos, but every once in a while she'll grunt at me and follow it up with a nice turd.

A little bit more expensive than I was hoping for, but I still plan on buying one of these before next breeding season.

I just found my MSB dead in her humid hide this morning. She was the other half of my SS gift and my first bell... I really thought she was pulling through as she was eating and stooling more. The only sick gecko I have left is my APTOR, who is steadily gaining weight and normalizing her stools...

That's a stain, that's not something physical or genetic. Next time she sheds, you'll see.

Thanks for the sympathy Marcia.

I lost my blizzard within the last hour. Honestly, I can't afford to get a necropsy done, I was fired from work over a month ago after being accused of doing something I didn't do, and at this point I spent the last of my cash having the stools checked out recently. I've been borrowing money...

I don't think my blizzard is going to make it at this point. She's stooling out undigested worms, and has become extremely lethargic. My MSB is on the fence, as she still has energy but doesn't seem to want to eat, is still having loose stools, but keeps down the mealies that I assist feed her...

I lost my little super snow tonight. I'm glad there aren't any tall buildings around. She was my favorite, I had always adored the SS morph and she was my only one that I got from ACPart last summer. Everyone else seems to be gaining weight, and the stools are looking more and more regular. I...

Crickets have been gone for about a month, and trust me when I say all of your advise is both welcome and greatly appreciated. I wasn't trying to be smart in my previous answer. I'll see what I can do with the vet, I think you may be right on with what's going on here. And yes, all of the sick...

Wow, I didn't know that about the dog food, I had read it was a good component of a gutload. I will take it out ASAP. I'll have to talk to my vet, but it's clear to me he's not a reptile guy. I totally understand what you're saying though about the med side effects, I'm an RN and I've seen that...

I'll be honest, I bought a RhinoRaxx from boaphile plastics, and this thing is killer... pre-setup with heat tape, ready to plug into a Tstat, took less than 1 hour to take out of the box and set up.

I gotta get one of those. I lost about 90% of my eggs this year, and they were fertile. I think it had a lot to do with burying them in too-damp perlite. That is an amazing concept. Anyone have price details yet?

Marcia- no can do on the necropsy at this point, the geckos were buried after death.

I was using store bought crickets for a long time, and they kept old potatoes in the bins with them (bangs head off wall).... I'm starting to wonder if this is what is going on... Now I am using mail order mealworms that I am gutloading for several days with carrot, apple, dry dog food, and...
