I'm extremely impressed by the thoroughness of your investigation. I do quarantine every new animal, but have been using the same glazed pottery food plates (after washing) among all the cages! What kind of rinse (bleach?) would be sufficient to sanatize common feeding equipment? I have been fortunate in that the only gecko I've lost was an adult female who had been in my possession for 6 months at least and had only been with the male for a few weeks, and she looked perfectly fine (no weight loss, etc.) even the day before, inexplicably, she died! Her tummy did show a deep purple patch, but I attributed that to the blood settling there.
