Re: [gecko]Leo Baby

I had twins hatch out...one was a good size for a leo, and the other was teeny. I didn't weigh her (I moved and can't find anything, and that includes my scale), but suffice it to say she is now about three months old and the same size as a hatchling leo. In fact, she's in with week-old leos now, s

Re: [gecko]Cryptosporidia vs coccidia

I do give the geckos tap water, but I have never really seen them drink it, and only those three are ill. Maybe my other one (DC) just doesnt show symptomes? The girls did live with Spoon for a long time, maybe they are just depressed that he is gone? -Liz Hi- One more thing- Wasn't there an inci

[gecko]Leo Baby

I had my last egg of the season hatch last week. She is a lovely jungle phase. But she only weighs 1 gram! She is eating pinheads and tiny meal worms, so I guess she will make it. I haven't lost a baby yet, knock on wood. Has any one else had a baby Leo this small? Cyndy _

RE: [gecko]Crypto- was Big Problem

Jason - there isn't a cure for crypto, but there are treatments to help. but can anyone actually describe the treatments for crypto and whether the treatments are helpful and worth it? I've heard about them, but have fortunately never had to deal with it. and i've never heard of the bearded d

Re: [gecko]Crypto- was Big Problem

Sounds like coccidia to me, very common in dragons and gex. It can be treated, but takes work and exceptional hygiene. I've treated many imports, most have tested negative even years after, but sometimes it is very stubborn and continually recurs. It doesn't necessarily make the geckos sick, but if

Re: [gecko]Big Problem

There are different medications for different types of parasites. Best bet is to have a fecal exam done, and treat only if the lizards have parasites. I think I mentioned testing Spoon for cryptosporidia. This is not found on a standard fecal exam. You need to have an acid fast stain done
