Here is, my problem is a case well particular who touches a baby satanic of 2 week. I never encountered that case with all the species of arboricol gecko maintained before.The baby in question was maintained on paper with branch of pothos, moisture 85%, shed well at the time of his first.But he's not able to climb because he stick like crazy glue.He start to climb and stand fixed not able to go away? I never see that and have no idea of what that's depend.

I will try to translate the best I can...
Hwe have a problem with one of his baby Uroplatus Phantasticus, teh baby is 2 week old. He never see this with any other species of arboreal gecko. In the cage of the baby, the Humidity level is 85%, and he is on humid ''Scott towel'', with pothos, and he well made his first shed. But the probleme is that he stick on anything, like if he had crazy glue under the feet. he can't climb without staying stuck somewhere...Eric don't know why and what to do with this...

I tried my best to translate it, if anybody have dificulty to understand my translation, said it, I will correct it... :wink:

Yes, the gecko is too sticky! He start to jump and finally don't move.He try to move he's leg and cannot by himself. I will try to to put mineral oil under is leg.I never see or heard nothing about that kind of problem...really uncommon.

[miguel camacho!]

stuck to everything? sounds like quite an oddball problem. id be careful of using mineral oil or anything like that, putting weird stuff like that on such a young phantasticus is putting it at risk. how long has this problem been going on? and let me get this straight...your gecko is trying to jump, but its toes do not release from whatever it is perched on? id give it some time, might just be something weird about your gecko. as long as it can get around somewhat, id imagine it would be fine. but if it is absolutely glued to whichever spot it is in, and doesnt move at all through the night, then obviously something weird is happening.

 

[crimsonreptiles]

Its really weird,if i put im on the substrat he walk,but on the pothos or the glass its toes don't release...so its very difficult for him to snap pin head.At night he doest move if he is glue on the glass.I take him and put it on the paper and restart to walk...snap some pin head, just freak.I got some new satanic hatch today,i hope they will be ok!

Thanks for help

This is such a hard one as you dont speak English well so that makes it hard to even consider asking for details. Maybe it is a genetic defect? Have you ever sprayed anything in the cage that might have turned sticky after drying? Try to get some pictures if you can.

 

[crimsonreptiles]

The only thing i mist is demineralized water and for pics im not able to make a close up from is toes with my camera.

 

[crimsonreptiles]

Just before he shed!

 

[Coleonyx]

can not really tell from the pic but his feet look deformed.

 

[miguel camacho!]

his feet do not look deformed. is that the current state of the gecko, or was that picture taken before it shed? that gecko definitely is ready to shed, according to that picture. you can see that all it has managed to shed is its one front leg. so if it has not completed that shed, i would recommend keeping him very humid and then taking him out to assist with the shed. i have had to do this multiple times with young hatchlings. they'll eventually catch on. you need to get some fine-tipped tweezers to help get this shed started. also, be very gentle and slow when peeling the skin back. it can take a while to complete it. be especially careful when you make it to the toes, you do not want to injure them. and i think this may be tied toe the stickiness problem, i have also had young phantasticus hatchlings have trouble moving about when they havent finished their shed.

good luck, and if anything is unclear, please ask more questions.

edit: i just now noticed you mentioned the pic was right before he shed. so disregard the stuff i said about helping it shed.
