That's right Ron, I am not far, and love to have GGA members visit. Welcome Garrett! Are you willing to check for geckos in the Conservatory? That would be great if you could (see my other post). Back to your gecko - you have U. henkeli? Very sturdy Uros. Most of us are using tube-type full spectrum lights (emitting UVA and UVB) with them and I for one have been using low D3 ratio vitamins for them. These guys have very specific needs, husbandry and set-up. Neil Meister has been working with one of our resident vitamin experts, veterinarian Dr. Susan Donoghue, on getting a good vitamin supplement for these guys. Neil, what did you end up with? Was it the same for all of your Uros?

As for U. phantasticus, I would put them at about a 9 or 10 out of 10 on the scale of difficulty. They are not easy gex - they are a good gecko to work with once you have a good CB source for them like Neil, and some experience with the easier Uros under your belt. I have had really bad luck with WC U. phantasticus and U. ebenaui. Also WC U. sikorae for that matter! The first step you can take with your U. henkeli, which I bet is WC, is to get a fecal done and start working on his parasite load. You are lucky to have a ton of good non-domestic vets in the Bay area!

Garrett,
Welcome aboard! San Francisco is one of the best gecko towns. Lot's of cool gecko people there. You're not to far from Julie, she's in Davis. I think it's about an hour east of you.


Ron
