5. How much are you handling?

Answer these for me and maybe we can help at least eliminate a few possibilities. To my knowledge, IBD isn't common or present at all in geckos but I don't have any experience with the disease myself, so won't say for sure that that's not a possibility. MBD however can present with what could appear to a newer keeper as neurological issues. With crested geckos stress can cause immune issues which can lead to all sorts of issues, dehydration or too much humidity can cause some of the issues you described as well. Lastly poison is a posibility for sure. We have a cleaning service come through once a month and unfortunatly I wasn't here to keep them out of my office where the animals are. I lost a crested gecko to cleaner, but fortunatly everyone else was fine.

At the end of the day if you're seeing similar symptoms in your snakes that you saw in your geckos, don't wait for us, a visit to a vet that specializes in reptiles may be called for.
1. I actually breed them. So, they all have the same dad. All babies are different ages and are having this problem suddenly and at the same time. So I personally would rule genetics out.

2. I mist sides of the cage 1-2 times a day. It dries between for a couple hours ( maybe 2-3). Temp is about 75° possibly as low as 73 and high as 77 at times.

3. Pangea Growth and Breeding. I replace food either everyday or every other day

4. No

5. Very little, maybe once every 1-2 weeks. Just when I’m trying to help them shed. I have found that if I let them sit in damp moss and then remove stuck shed with tweezers they don’t develop the numerological symptoms or die.

Two of my adults actually just had problems shedding as well. It was very easy to remove the remaining shed and they went back to normal. All geckos eat, gain weight, and stay hydrated until it’s time to shed. Then if I can’t get the stuck shed off they starve/ don’t drink, develop the neurological symptoms, and die.
