Thanks for the info. I can't really see a wound, just a big white patch. It's possible the skin is torn off but the calcium sac not ruptured. Do you know if it's a liquid or solid in those?
See seems to be doing OK, now that she's "single" again.

A laceration to the calcium sac will heal. Take the same precautions as you would with any deep cut: keep it clean, remove her from the male (as you said you are going to do), and if it is a seriously large wound consider taking it to a veterinarian for care as he/she would have methods to suture the wound.

Subject: [gecko]Ruptured calcium sac.
Hi all,
I have a pair of Phelsuma sundbergi longinsulae. I put them together yesterday, and judging by the bite marks on her neck they have mated several times. But the last time seems to have ruptured one of her calcium sacs. Will this likely heal on its own like the neck bites do, or is it more serious? I think I will separate them to prevent further injury.
Thanks, Melody
