Lyle and Elizabeth,
I actually have them isolated from the rest of my animals in individual cages now. The gecko that is the latest to come down with the mites is a female mossy that has rapidly hit the fan health wise. I'm giving her some pedialyte like substance in hopes that it will perk her back up. She's just extremely stressed and slowly coming together. First down, then up, then back down again... I have hopes she'll turn for the better. I started to give her some soaks today to see if she'll take to rehydration. Wish me luck on her.
cheers jason

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

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.

Lyle---
I note that you are recommending liquid soap for mite treatment. Have you found that liquid soap is more effective than vegetable or mineral oil for suffocating mites?
Always interested in the latest, most effective remedies.

Hi Elizabeth, I just never had luck with out and felt the oil clogged pores too much. Both methods have probably been around the same time.
