My lizard passed away. She accquired MBD (metabollic bone disease) and couldn't eat when I tried to feed her she choked. There was nothing I could do by the time I found an exotic vet she would have already passed.

I just have to bite my tongue and move on but she was the most joyful little baby crested I ever saw.

I'm sorry to hear that.  Sad We haven't had much luck with reptiles in the past.


what are the signs of that disease- or are there any?

My sister gave me her leopard gecko over a month ago. She was eating really well then she shed so she didnt eat for atleast 5 days.. now I see her eating but I have found several mealworms covered in thick, dark liquid and I think she has thrown them up. I haven't researched them much so I am clueless.  Shrug

Similar to malocollusion in chinchillas, my gecko didnt get enough vitamins and calcium so her bones became too weak and she couldnt move so she died. Infact I accidentally killed her by feeding her on the tip of her nose. When she went to lick it she couldnt swallow and choked.

Its very very very hard to tell if a reptile is sick until its almost too late. If they are less active or regurgitating thats a sign. You might want to take the gecko to a local vet OR to a reptile specialist and just ask.
