Re: [gecko]Red Mites on Uroplatus Geckos...

[Lyle Puente]

I would quarantine each gecko in a sparsely furnished cage and treat 
each gecko by hand. I use a cotton swab dipped in liquid soap and dab a 
drop on each mite. They will then easily be wiped off with a dry swab. 
Onced they are all removed....keep a close watch for more who may 
venture out of deep recesses. In a week or two eggs may hatch with a 
fresh batch.

Greetings all,
Anyone ever dealt with Mites on Uroplatus Geckos?  I just recently 
imported a fairly good sized group of these geckos and two animals 
that are housed together have just started to show signs of red mites. 
 The mites  are in low numbers and are not very obvious.  I saw about 
ten total on both geckos.  The animals that are invected are my Mossy 
Leaf Tails.  Any tips would be appreciated as I would like to part 
with this issue as soon as possible.  I'm looking for the safest 
method of ridding them from the geckos.
Cheers
Jason
