Very sick Garg

Hi there

Today I came home from work, and my female garg is on the ground, dead and stiff, and very pale.

Male gecko is hiding, but also very pale, wont eat, and only moves if he really really need to.

What can be wrong?, there are no gecko vet nearby 80km radius, any ideas what can have been the issue?

Had them for about a year, breed by themselves 3 times, last time, last week.

I mist them 2-3 times a day, temp is around 72-77 F, and humidity is 60-80%.

Seems like they havn't eaten much the last few days

how long have you had them? how long have they been off? if it's all happened within just a few days and both were affected, I'd suspect environmental. temperature fluctuation, chemical exposure, something like that.

I had them for about a year, and the store told me, they were 8 months old at the time. I noticed that they havn't eaten much for a week (Rapashy) .. but it's not THAT uncommon for them, not to eat much in a week.

Yesterday, morning they seemed fine, when I came back from work.. one was dead. Havn't changed enviromental, tempature nor chemical exposure. Could it be parasites or something?

This morning when I put the dead one in a box, I noticed a few green spots on the tummy, what are those?

the green is decomposition of their guts. unless you see that well before death, it doesn't indicate anything.

where would they have gotten the parasites? and parasitic infection is unlikely to show up rapidly.
