I have one crested gecko. I've been taking care of my best friend's two crested geckos for the past two weeks. I've been taking care of them exactly how she said to, and I've watched them many times in the past. Last night when I fed her geckos they seemed to be just fine. This morning however, they were both dead, side by side. They looked dehydrated, but the humidity and water level was just fine in their habitat. This was a breeding pair, so I'm wondering if that had something to do with their death. My friend came back to pick them up about an hour ago and we went through their cage to look for anything out of the ordinary. The only thing we found were some very small(hardly visible) bugs underneath the substrate toward the back of the cage.
Just about ten minutes ago, MY three and a half year year old crested dropped his tail . He just finished shedding yesterday, and there's no new stress that I can think of that he's exposed to. Could his tail and the death of my friend's gecko be connected? Please let me know what you think so my gecko and my friend's future geckos will be safe.

I hope we can help you find an answer. As far as looking dehydrated, gecko bodies dry out very quickly from what I have heard and seen myself.
