Special Needs Gecko...

I took some pictures of my big male crested gecko today. He had a bout with MBD a year or so ago, but bounced back. All that remains of it is a bump on his back...









He likes to show me his hemipenes whenever I take him out, I guess I have that effect... anyway, here's a picture of 'em for those who've never seen them:



Thanks for looking

Hahha... lovely Heather, gecko porn

He's a cutie though, despite being a bit of an exhibitionist

hey heather, my buddy got some infor about MBD for his crested a couple months ago (his handle is Homsy) I meant to tell you at the show, but your advice saved the little guy. I wasnt much help to him becasue I had never seem MBD before. when I actually saw the gecko it broke my heart. little guy was all swollen up and couldnt move!
now, after a few months of careful rehab, my buddy got him back to health. it is hunting crickets on its own and eats CG food recipe that was posted on this forum by Dragondrop (I think, sorry if i am wrong).
anywho, this got long winded. just watned to let you know that your advice, when applied, saved a gecko with an advanced case of MBD.
cheers,
Adam

Thanks for the update Adam I'd been in contact with him through e-mail and I'm really happy to hear that my experience with MDB helped out his little gecko

It's an HP Photosmart R607... I'm still getting the hang of it, but it's a really smart camera.
