Paul, Thanks for the information. I am being the sponge as well. I am really sorry that you are having this problem and I hope your herps are on the mend.

Julie, You have be severely helpful, I recently got the book "understanding reptile parasites" has some good info for a sponge like me, but is lacking specific information on life span. As far as how long I had the gecko before they appeared ill was the day they were shipped there was supposed to be a male & female hypo pair the female arrived DOA and the first fecal deposit was wet now understand at the time I had only had geckos for 2 weeks and he was the second we had ever had. Meaning I only had 2 weeks of experience and 1 gecko to compare with. But over the course of a few days each fecal was worse than the last in terms of odor. He was placed with my female upon receipt, which I have had for 2 weeks prior to the male's arrival. Her stool was hard and dry to the point it did not make a wet spot on a paper towel, Unlike the males stool upon his arrival. As far as his success with herbal treatments and such I can't vouch for him, If you want to talk with him I can send you his e-mail off list.
