Deuce is watching!
My son's crested gecko died this evening. He was our first crested. He seemed to be eating fine and active the same as always this morning. I am at a loss as to what happened.
 
*hugs* It's hard with the exotics. They so rarely show any signs of being ill until right before they pass. My thoughts are with you and yours.
 
It's always hard when a pet dies, it's extra hard when you don't know why it happened. I went through that a couple months ago, it was heart breaking. I'm very sorry for your loss.
 
Thanks all! I had to keep my son busy today before school so he didn't realize it yet. Didn't want him being sad all day alone so I have yet to deal with his let down tonight.
 
I can not tell you how many people I know in the last few months that have been loosing cresteds. A group of us privately suspect entamoebas as a matter of fact we are almost sure. When these strange deaths first started at the end of last summer I had fecals done on all of mine and no parasites were found though I e-fix mine once a year anyway. Do a search on entamoebas and see if this seems familiar at all. Cresteds are very hardy and never just drop dead though since last summer I can't go a day without hearing a story similar to yours. I am very sorry for your loss and if you guys have other rhacs please pick up some e-fix to be extra careful. You are welcome to PM for more info if you like, but this topic for some reason is being kept quiet so I will not go on too much.
