Hello

I have two c.turneri gecko what i bred a year ago. Now I separeted them because it seems that both of them is male. One is very agile but the other is very slow. He moves on the ground and not able to run fast. I tried to feed him with roach but he doesn't look intrested. I can touch his tail without any effect.I lost one of my female which died similar way but she was gravid. Maybe there were different reasons but the other female could stress her i don't know.

What should i do? I fear I lose this gecko too.
It looks to me that only one male and a female can be house from this species.(in my case. The other pair in 38gal tank)
What could happen? The other stressed him out? Or what else?
Advice needed please. :(

Thanks in advance

I just answer my question that I asked many weeks ago. Maybe this helps out other turneri owner who has similar problem. I guess this 'illness' could happen if you keep this species members together for longer than 10 months. The bigger geckos could stress out the others regardless to their gender. When I separeted them I thought there is small chance for the gecko to recover. He didn't eat or just very little. I gave the gecko mealworm in a bowl with vitamin and time to time he was getting better moved better and reacted better therefore after a time he was able to catch crickets. Sometimes i put the mealworm near to his mouth and he lick the vitamin powder I used reptile glo 2.0 above the tank. Now he is completely healthy. :idea:
