What now?

about a month and a half ago i believe.

now that i think about me and my dad were very ill about two weeks ago diarhea, throwing up, i think we actualy got crypto from the geckos. I assumed this was the nora virus as it is known to be going around. But I just researched crypto in humans and we fit the signs. we were bad for three days felt better for one then were sick again, and this is how crypto affects humans. we are both very healthy so assume we fought off the parasite as we are all better now.

get the newest leo tested. if it comes up positive for crypto contact the seller and provide proof of the positive test from your vet. request a full refund for the leo that they sent you, including shipping. you might not be able to get any money back, depending on the terms of the seller, but at the very least they need to be informed that one of their geckos tested positive for crypto.

that is quite possible. it is very contagious, even to humans, thus the need for very strict husbandry and using gloves when handling affected geckos.
