Hi, Ron
They drive some people crazy, but we love them. Most people try to seal
their houses to make them gecko-tight (and bug-tight), but we have our
doors and windows open almost all the time. ;)
We have about 25-30 or so "regulars" downstairs and another 20 or so
upstairs, plus lots and lots on the lanais. We can only really uniquely
identify the day geckos from their back patterns and occasionally the
others with deformities (we have one house gecko with a forked tail).
But we find babies of all three species regularly in the house, which we
relocate outdoors to prevent them becoming meals for the inside day geckos.
We're very happy to live in Hawaii. ;)

Subject: [gecko] Question on Gold Dust Day Gecko turning blue
We have a young female Gold Dust Day Gecko who has hung around our
kitchen for quite a few months now, but she is suddenly turning blue
on her forward half. The only time I have seen any of them turn blue
instead of green is when they have died, so I am really concerned
about her.
She still seems hungry, but is much more timid than usual and is much
thinner than she was a few weeks ago and is not eating as well.
We don't have any geckos in captivity, but we have them all over our
house, mostly the day geckos, but also a lot of the house geckos and
the Mourning geckos, so we almost always have papaya and water out for
them. We also feed them meal worms occasionally, and she ate 3 small
ones yesterday, but doesn't seem to want them today.
Does anyone know what would make her turn blue like that? Is there
anything I can do for her? Is there anything she particularly needs
that I could put out for her?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as she is one of our favorites.
She has been coming around ever since she was quite small.
Mahalo, Sherron
