That's for all the help. I appreciate everything. The little gecko died this morning. I have kept your posts for future reference, however. This is the second spider I lost to sand, I think. The first one died from the prolapse. Thanks again, Mike - Original Message - From:

I did my own autopsy this evening and it was not pretty. There was A LOT of sand in her gut. I think her gut ruptured (and killed her). Her intestines were pink until the point of impaction and after that they were black and smelly with a putrid liquid in them. I don't think she would have been

Hello, Has anyone had any negative experiences after adding springtails to a naturalistic vivarium with geckoes? I know springtails are a common occurance in vivaria for dart frogs, but I would like to double check for my Uroplatus sp. Thanks, William
