I have 2 house geckos and a long tailed lizard, the first one I got, a Christmas present from my wife, is not looking good. She's losing her color and is not as active as she was before, I've even seen her slide down the glass walls of her enclosure. She still chases crickets a little and eats them, but appears to be losing weight. I dust my crickets at least twice a week and have a 30 watt bulb over the enclosure as well as an under tank heater on the side. What's wrong with my gecko?!

allright. reptile vets can be VERY expensive. please tell me you have the long tail lizard in a seperate terrarium...
if you dont youre gonna have to and get the specific care for each of them
now on the the little gecko
youre gonna need a uvb/uva full spectrum light and a heating bulb, keep the enclosure at least 78 degrees F at ALL times. add some vitimin drops like electrolize in to him water. and shake the crickets in a reptacal supplament i dont know what your are dusting them in and up that to about every other day for the next 2 weeks. get some fake plants, vines and leaves to let him climb and the mist the crap out of them! geckos usually get their water from the leaves, ( put the vitamin drops in the both the still water and the spray) keep me updated!

rule # 1 for us is if our geckos curious behavior changes - take it to the vet immediately
