Hi Nathan, I have to agree with everyone else, you need veterinary help. I've had several "sudden death" geckos necropsied (mostly Uroplatus) and bacteria were the cause of death in most cases. The root of the problem was not always the same however, some animals were stressed due to shipping, some had been kept at incorrect temperatures and others had protozoans. You could be dealing with more than one problem. If the geckos are eating/defecating get some fecals done. When I suspect something, I do several fecals as nasty things such as coccidia will not always turn up on the first (or second, or third) test.
Good luck, Neil >hi everyone, >my question is pressing....i have a large, well planted enclosure >(6x2x3ft) originally with 8 tokays in it and they just recently >started dying off. a while back i wrote about a tokay that died who >may have had an infected tail. it appears that that was not the >cause of its death because i am now down to five (all three with the >same quick death) and want to stop the epidemic before they are all >gone. they have been perfectly ok for about a year now and i can't >seem to figure out a cause that would strike so quickly and without >symptom. i haven't got a vet close by and was wondering if anyone >could give a possible diagnosis so that i might treat the ones that >are still alive. there are no real symptoms besides seeming a >little skinny around the waist at the back legs (but only by the >legs). they are fine one day and the next they are slowly dying, >still having some movement in some limbs, or already dead and rigid. >your help would be much appreciated as i do not want any more of my >tokays dying. >thanks in advance, >nathan > -- Neil Meister Promotions Secretary Global Gecko Association http://www.gekkota.com President Nova Scotia Herpetoculture Society ########################################################################### THE GLOBAL GECKO ASSOCIATION LISTSERV WebSite: www.gekkota.com Archive: [EMAIL PROTECTED]/ The GGA takes no responsibility for the contents of these postings. ###########################################################################
