Hello from a lurker with a question,
One of my p.laticaudas has developed a strangely lumpy calcium sack. There is no way to describe it other than to say it is lumpy, very different from the other gecko, which has softly swollen sacks on either side of his neck. This one has sacks that are larger and have lumps visible within (2 or 3 lumps).
He still eats and poops regularly, is colorful and active, though he is much more shy than the other gecko (they are in different tanks) and will hide at any sight of me. The other one will take crickets from my fingers; this one runs the other way.
Here are his habitat specs: 15 gallon tank, planted with plenty of hiding spots. Misted daily, ceramic heat source, UV light. Fed primarily crickets once or twice a week dusted in calcium and vitamin powder.
Like I said, other than the calcium sack and being very skittish, he seems fine. I would post a picture but he hides so well and so immediately I can't get a good one.
Anyone have any ideas what this could be? Thank you, Chrissy
