MEd gecko help tail???

Geckos503 · #1 08-04-2009, 01:32 AM

MY 1 month mediterranean gecko or hemidactylus turcicus has a very shiny silver thing on his tail right where it connects to his body.

i have no clue what it is but he had it ever since and i didn't think it was a problem.

i cant post a picture because my touch screen camera broke when it dropped a foot. Not recommended,

any help will be much appreciated but i will try to get it off without losing his tail.

it doesn't seem like its part of his body.

ill try tomorrow

IDK but maybe a shedding problem or something from the cage rubbed off on him.

oh and i let go of the juvies cause i didnt want them to die, and i caught a male adult and i now have 3 other female adults hoping to be able to breed them once they get settled in for a bit and have their own babies haha.

just trying to put in my input.

hahah, it was something in the cage, it came off today when he jumped in his water bowl and freaked.

good luck with the breeding.

Okay i will, in fact i have one very pregnant female right now so when she lays i will take some pics, i will probably take some of her stomach cause they are clearly visible

.

She was one of the first ones i caught so most likely she was probably pregnant when i caught her but the eggs are just now maturing.
