As you know, your findings and the help of another friend of ours helped me to save several valuable geckos from a group that I purchased (from a different source) recently as well. The flagyl treatment seemed to knock the disease out in a matter of days. The geckos, which were further quarantined (moved to another facility) seem to be doing well and will likely be coming back home soon.

The fact that these infected geckos are coming from various sources makes me wonder if "Entamoeba invadins" may be coming from other reptile species who are not (or not as) susceptible to it. Any thoughts on this?
