My male is not the one that's infected...they're 2 adult females. And they both weigh around 37 grams.
Also about disinfecting the tanks. I don't think it should be that hard to eliminate the parasites. 'cause one of the infected tanks i had before with this which now house a couple of my 2003 hatchlings have not caused any probs with those babies. And i disinfected a total of 4 times, but very thoroughly. So i'm hoping these two tanks won't be that bad either.

Whoops - I meant modified ACID fast stain - helps to identfy
cryptosporidium.

If you disinfect it properly - you should eliminate them, leaving it out
in the sun will help as well - awuaria get super hot so no animals in
the when you do this.
>And you say that blood tests are no good?
Nope - just difficult to get a decent sample from a gecko. What does
your male weigh?
