Please fill out our care questionaire if you are asking a health question. It makes it a lot easier for the member ship to gain all the basic husbandry information we would need to make an intelligent educated guess as to what could be adversly affecting your gecko with out having to ask a humdred questions in your thread. If you post a health question with out filling out the care questionaire you will be asked to do so before we can help you with your health question.

Please keep in mind **Only an experienced reptile veterinarian who can directly examine your animal can give a true diagnosis of your Gecko's health.** we can only offer our educated guess and suggestions as to what the problem may be.

Your participation is greatly appreciated.
