Phil,

sorry to hear about your tomopterna. COmers with a territory when buying WC. A bought two sauvagei about 2 months ago and one cam down with exactly the same thing. It got puss stuff below it's eyes, which then turned black and eventually covered the eyes. I tryed treating with tetracycline, but to no avail. I tlaked it over with some people and we think it was a fungal infection. I'm not positive tohugh, it couldhave been bacterial. My other sauvagei is doinbg great. So good luck, I will be getting some vaillanti soon and taking extra precautions to avoid this. Get your tomopterna from Pete?

Not sure. I keep my waxy's humidity extremely low, so it couldn't be that for them. Not quite sure.
