stones update again

TonyZ Apr 15, 2006 10:55 AM

well again she is doing much better and getting fatter her hip bones are now not visible her tail is plumping up and the dents in her head are almost gone

some of you were concernd about food competition but this isnt a problem as i feed them seperatly in another tank, mainly to keep ther tank clean but to reduce food competition also this way i can better moniter who gets what

also look at her shoulders she is developing a white stripe that goes back along her body, is this a normal trait or is this just a unique pattern for her

i will post 2 new and the original pic of her for comparison

wow she is starting to look like a gecko and not something from timbertons claymations. great job! is the stipe along her spine raised? if it is that might not be good but if it isnt that is fine. sometimes geckos get a disease or something that has to do with there spine and its not good. i dont know what it is but have seen it b4.

Wow! She looks as if she almost recover! Great job! Did you feed her egg yolk like I suggested? I'm just curious if it worked or notL! that's all! Again! Great Job!

well when you had suggested the yolk she was eating pretty much on her own, the one that passed on was the one i was having trouble with i did try it with both of them and they didnt seem to care for it to much after licking the drop off there noses they would shake there heads, unfortunatly with sticks avery thing i gave her she just would spit out, more often than not but at least i managed to bring stones around she is doing so great im still shocked that she has come this far
