They are beautiful and I didn't realize how huge they got.

Personally I would treat them, any untreated geckos are a danger to the rest of your collection, and should you ever want to sell any gecko, it would be of concern to the buyer I would think to know that there is a possibility that the gecko they are buying may have some kind of parasite because of some imported and untreated individuals in your own collection.

You also have to consider that if you keep geckos from different places around the world, while these two may be fine with the possible parasites they have, should they get to another gecko in your collection, they may not fare so well for very long.

Personally, I would not let them go untreated as a precaution for the rest of the animals.
