Re: SV: [gecko] Intelligence (Long)

Whoa Nelly, I have had Phelsuma with big calcium sacs die of hypocalcemia. MBD is a balance problem between Ca, phosphorus and D3. If your gex have big sacs then try a supplement with less D3, Dr. Susan Donoghue offers one at http://www.herpnutrition.com
I do think it is a good idea to "recycle" eggs from the Phelsuma that laid them. I just toss the eggshells just as they are after the babies come out and the females take care of the rest. ;)

It’s not lack of calcium. I provide all my geckoes finely crushed eggshells in a small dish in addition to dusting prey.

The female in question has prominent calcium sacks behind the head.
