Need Urgent Help for my P.rangei!!! Parasit?deficiency Signs??

[maomakma]

Hi Guys..
I Just arrived from Holidays..
a friend of mine cared for my 5 Pachydactylus rangei..
It took a day till i noticed that some.. specially one..
..have some Parasit?Mushrooms? was the humidity or temp. in bad Condition..
What the ****.. I dont know.. I´m really frightened about my babies..
I go to post some Pics asap.. than tell more about their conditions..

 

[maomakma]

for me it feels like this looks real bad..or?

What can that be???

I have never seen something like this before.
Could be mites or a kind of infection. It´s difficult to tell.
Best would be if you go to a vet as soon as possible.

Did they have something like that before went to holidays ?
Maybe your friend has reptiles too which are infected ?

best regards

Sebastian

P.S. Could you tell us how you keep them ? "Staunässe" (I don´t know the english word, could be "waterlogging") is dangerous for them, so you gotta have a good ventilation.

ok.. they have a big Terra ..1m x 1m x 0,8m ..

this..

E.N.T. Terrarientechnik - Namiba Terra Replux® UVHEAT Strahler, 100 Watt UVA+UVB - Strahler Namiba Terra Replux® UV-HEAT Strahler, 100 Watt UVA+UVB ZU1646

..lamp spends on Hotspot nearly 40 degrees.. Rest is between 28-35 degrees .. at night it goes down to 12-15

humidity is at 30% most of the time.. I spray water in the morning..

they get small crickets every 3-4 .. also worms sometimes..
Sapia..is in 2 corners.. they get some ReptiVit Calcium shit sometimes..
I dont know what my friend did while I was in Holiday.. but I was sure they live in good conditions..
My friend has no reptiles.. only Dogs were here..

hmm.. I put some desertflowers in the Backwall 4-5weeks ago.... maybe a reason?
The Terra isnt waterlogging..
but it seems the gecko is searching something..
he licks earth and stones sometimes.. But there is StheapiaShell on the ground..
I also put some Calciumdust on too..

30% seems a bit low. How deep is your substrate ? 8-12 cm are recommended.
The sand should be quite humid at one side of the cage, so that the geckos are able to burrow their own tunnels etc.
Can you post a picture of your cage ?

here it is..

I just started to inspect the Terra.. and I found many (dead) mealworms.
When I feed mealworms I give always 1 worm to 1 of my babes selected by size so they can Handle it..
I think my friend sometimes came at afternoon to care for them
and he put those worms in when they all were havin their Siesta..

I also read about a (new) form of parasite that can change its Host,for in example in wormshit..
they found kinda of that Parasite in mealworms and they took reptiles as new host.. I take few of that worms with me to the doc.

Now I make 2 QuaratäneCages.. and after being at the doc I take that 100kg "contaminated" desertsand out of the terra and make total cleanout ..OMG

Lets keep fingers crossed ..these are the toughest little Guys i know..:fight:

 

[maomakma]

ok Guys.. sorry that I didnt reply earlier, but i was very busy..

Milbs.. the name of the beast is Milb..

My Doc cleaned them.. on Monday she said if they survive the next few days
all will be ok.. Today all my species look good.. :yahoo:
I put them in Quarantane for few weeks now.. go to Doc again next week for Cleaning.. and hope all will be good..

Those Milbs were everywhere.. in ears.. between legs..
She believes they had that milbs before I got them..
