Gecko died

[Terranaut]

Well my otherwise healthy Standings Day Gecko was fine yesterday morning when I fed her. Went in to check on everyone last night and she was on her back dead:( I have no idea why. Very sad. This was the only hands off animal I have had. Poor thing :( I wish I knew what happened. All her husbandry and nutrition was spot on. Strange.

Sorry for your loss. Was she old?

[Hurrok]

Awe, I'm so sorry for your loss. :( Really weird how she just died like that with no signs though...

So sorry to hear that Dan. Could there have been something wrong with what ever you fed it?

Thanks all. Super weird. Would a spider bite kill a small gecko? In clearing out her tank , which I did like a csi I found a pretty big spider.
She also has a mark that could be from a bite but I am not sure. We are having a family cremation in the yard fire tonight. I haven't lost an animal in a long time :(
Her diet was clarks gecko diet and the odd few day old dubia. The breader told me this was perfect. I misted twice daily so she could drink from the leaves as well as had a water dish. I figure it's most likely she had a medical problem like a heart or organ issue.

Did you manage to get a pic of the spider? I'm not an expert but someone here might be able to tell you if it was capable as it seems like a legit reason to me.
