hi has this ever happened to you i bought 5 fat tailed geckos. for some reason in less than a week they have been dying. healthy one day next day dead. all other animals of my own stock healthy and fat. i had this animals quarantined which i am glad i did but i am puzzled. no signs of sickeness at all they just die thank you for any ionfo you provide

Sorry to hear about this, I would take the surviving ones to the vet ASAP. I've never had a gecko die before but did have one snake die like that. Turned out he had an intestinal parasite, though I never saw any symptoms - seemed fine then died one morning. Also you should ask whoever you got the geckos from. Chances are they are having the same problem and might know what's causing it, maybe they could give you a remedy. Maybe you can save the ones you have left...if their cause of death is something that the breeder or pet store or wherever you got them from could have prevented, I'd also ask for my money back. Good luck!!
