Well, I haven't been around posting as much as I used to, but I thought I'd let you all know, I've had my first death. Raleigh, the albino girl that I bought from Xtreme Reptiles at the Raleigh reptile show has passed on. She never seemed to acclimate and wouldn't eat very much. I tried the jump start and so forth, she just never snapped out of it.

I'm sorry for your loss. ):

I'm kind of going through what you went through-- I have two babies that are badly undernourished. I'm afraid of losing them. What all did you try with your gecko to get food down her, in hopes that I might try the same thing?

Well, I used Jump Start made by ESU, I also tried the Flukers Repti-Aid. They both worked wonders on my Abbie, thats why I think I didn't give Raleigh enough attention and I take the blame for losing her. I work 2 jobs now, so I can't tend to them as much as I'd like, but I am going to have to do a better job I think.

I'm sorry you lost your little girl!

Were you able to find out what was wrong with her?
