Hello,
I came home to find my crested gecko dead today. I fed her well. I held her often as well. Since she died, I am curious to know if me holding her often had anything to do with it. She always seemed fine, she never seemed scared in fact she was most explorative when I held her. I did notice that she started to move less and less but I thought it was her shedding.I also noticed she would be incredibly still and eat less when she shed but everything I read said it was normal. I did notice that this Saturday I took her out to clean her cage and out of nowhere she got so incredibly stiff I thought she died then. I saw her heart beating and I put her in water and slowly she began moving. It happened again last night when I checked on her she was stiff and I could flip her on her back and she would not move. I also notice stuck shed on her toes so I removed it and then she was stiffer. I want to know what the problem was. I took exceptional care, I fed her meal worms, crickets and repashy. I misted her cage. She had branches from the desert to climb on. Paper towel substrate then I switched it to calcium carbonate sand this morning, and I came home and she was limp upside down. I'd love to know what I did wrong when I felt like I did everything right.
