Tuscon banded is doing great.

I have seen her eat on multiple occasions now since i put her in the natural tank with the male and the cornatum. She is putting on weight and hopefully will be big enough to breed next year. Thanks all with your help and thanks Nathan for talking with me.
If you dont know the story here it is. "When Ryan, John, Bill, My dad, Lyle, and I were in Arizona we stopped for a Tuscon Banded Gecko. It had a bloody mouth so i desided to take it with me since i really wanted to try them again. When i got home i found out that she had been run over by a car and here jaw was broken in half and sticking a little out of the skin. Well i poped the jaw back in place and waited for it to heal. It did slowly and i fed her baby food through a syringe along with a mixture of water and calcium. Well she became skinny but never ate a cricket. Well a week and a half ago which was almost 1 1/2 months after i brought her home i desided to put her in with my horned lizards and my male banded gecko(which i also brought back). Four days ago i saw her eat. For the first time in almost 2 months after a broken jaw. Everynight since i have seen her eat and she is putting wieght on. I cant believe she survived. She probably never would have in the wild because when i found her she could barely move on the road. She is doing great now and hopefully with breed next year."

Here are some pictures.

Fantastic job rehabilitating this little gecko! She's a very nice specimen, too. I adore my Tucson Banded geckos, and it's great to see so many others are learning to enjoy them as well.

awww shes precious looking, bless her little heart. You have done an
amazing job with her. That must have taken some nerve to put her
jaw back in place. She looks wonderful, great story.

Cant be worse then my desert banded getting eaten alive by little tiny ants,
Ive been at war with the ants since then and they are quite a battle for the
tiny size they are. Each summer i am fighting to keep the pest out of my
house which is a daily battle. They are amazing insects but i have grown to
really dispise them after they killed my banded gecko gilligan.

Well she was bitten and stung by at least two of the havester ant i feed my horned lizards. I think she tried to eat them. I had to pull to stingers out of her chin. So i separated the bandeds into a smaller cage.
