My golden died

[msubigdawg]

I posted a few days ago about my golden having a bad wound on its face. That same night he passed away. I still have my white lined that was housed with him but I think the white lined is going to miss him. I never really liked geckos but I lover reptiles and it hurt when I found him just lying there.

sorry for your loss

I am sorry to hear about your golden, but I am sure your white lined will be fine.

Sorry for your loss, loing a pet always sucks :(

I'm not sure about each individual species' requirements, but if you had them in the same cage you might want to keep a close eye on the surviving gecko and avoid keeping seperate species together in the future...most herps don't really need 'companionship', especially from another species :) If it was a bite or something that got infected, I'm sure the white-lined will be alright...but you can never be too careful incase it was something else :)

Good luck .

I agree with PuNkuPoNAsTAR.....these geckos are often aggresive.

My first Goldens were a pair of males housed together. One had a huge wound on it's face. It healed, then I noticed the other gecko ripped another chunk off his face. Two males is never good together and sometimes even pairs fight.
