Your message made it, Neil, Unfortunately, my gecko did not. She was looking pretty good for the last two nights, and was taking babyfood/ Ca by dropper, but this morning I found her dead on the floor of her cage. That is one seriously painful lesson learned on my part. God I feel

Jared, Uros are really tricky, especially when they decline in health. Sorry about your loss. You can use her death to better the rest of your Uros though, so it is not in vain. Julie B. Jared Morris wrote: Your message made it, Neil, Unfortunately, my gecko did not. She was looking

Jared ~ I, too, am very sorry about the passing of your female Uro. The pain, at least when my geckos die, seems greater the longer one has had the gecko, but, nonetheless, it still hurts. It seems like she left a little one behind for you and other eggs ;-} No doubt, as vigilant with

Hi Jared, I hope this gets through, I haven't had much luck posting lately. You're on the right track. If you have only been dusting insects and she has been laying eggs, she is far most likely to be hypo. I've seen the symptoms you described in several Uroplatus. Often they will come around

Thanks Elizabeth... after doing some searching and thinking, I think I may be at fault... My overzealous supplementation may have caused Hypercalcemia. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing I guess. I'll keep the list posted. Jared Best wishes in discovering the cause of

So I was just walking past the big viv with my trio of U. henkeli, when I heard a weird hissing noise. I looked in to find my large, normally robust, female lying on the ground looking dead. Turns out she's not dead, but she may be heading in that direction - she is displaying these
