Hello
I have a similar problem as you.
I died U.henkeli female bred in captivity. From the beginning, I watched the tail break, the female was thin, immature. Activity was relatively okay. The female was with me from the baby. No changes in the terrarium, I did not do.
She was reared in a pair U.lineatus terrarium. Since her death have completed about two months. Bend the tail begin to be observed even at U.lineatus male, also bred in captivity. All animals are with me a long time.
You have come to have a possible reason curled tail and death?
Thank you all.

Salzy and Pakinjak
What vitamins you used before his death for your uroplaty? How often do you offer them animals? You use UVB lights?
I would like to find common mistakes that could cause the death of our animals.

I'm having the same problem. My female Henkeli tail is getting thin and seems to be folding over. I'd like to catch the problem while she is still alive. Any thoughts?
She seems otherwise healthy and she is CBB, about a year old.
Thank you,
Armen

Hello
Please describe the conditions of breed. Temperature, vitamins, feeding, lighting.
If you send a photo of the tail. I'd love to come to a possible cause of this "disease Uroplatus"

Hello!
In the first photo U.lineatus problem with the kidneys (this is not lungs), there is visible bleeding kidneys.
Another photograph U.fimbriatus a bad liver.
This happens most frequently in cases of poisoning and intoxication.
Unfortunately my English does not allow me in detail more ..
I'm sorry ..

I had just picked up the fimbriatus 3-4 weeks before she died, along with her mate which just sired his first clutch for me. I've been assuming all along that her death was the culmination of bad husbandry from the time of her being imported (summer 200 and her death (winter 2011). I don't think I had her long enough to do this to her and I got the vibe that the original owner wasn't all that into them so I doubt their needs were met very well. I've been evolving as a keeper at a rapid pace (uroplatus do that to you, don't they?), so I don't remember exactly what my regimen was when I had her. But I think I was dusting every feeding with Repashy CalPlus and had a dish of straight Calcium noD3 in with her.

There's a current calcium thread running where I just shared what I do for mine, but when I had her there's no way I overdosed her on anything... underdosed if anything. I appreciate the opinions though... anything that advances our knowledge. I'm not taking it personally, so don't let me come across that way.

I've been checking my pics and can't seem to find the original necropsy photos to check the dates, but I know she laid in the cage dead all day and I may have waited a while to cut her open. I've been told by my vet that several hours sitting out can break down the gut so I wonder if that could affect the color of the organs too?

Hi Seva
Could Specify what could be the reason you think poisoning or intoxication? Do you think there might be a suitable dosage or type of vitamins?Or crickets nutrition?

[Seva]

This is a difficult question .. In general, it is known that D3 overdose can cause deposition of Ca in the vessels of the kidneys. These stones can cause bleeding in the kidney. But there may be other reasons ..
