Hey everyone. I got a message that my 15 y/o cousin's crested gecko died this morning. I was the one who had recommended a crestie to her, and gave her instructions on how to keep it. Her mom sent me a message, they want to know why he died. I told her it could be any number of things, but that I would ask you guys if you had any input at all. My cousin was really attached to the little guy and is trying to make sense of things. Jack was only between 1 and 2 years old.
Here's the message I got:

Good morning, Paris. I have a question about [cousin's name]'s gecko, Jack. He died...When she got up this morning he was on his back and was not moving. She said it looked like there was blood on his mouth. I didn't think he was acting normal yesterday, he looked pale and was awake during the day...but I thought maybe he was getting ready to shed. Do you have any ideas? I know they can live a lot longer, but obviously something was bothering him.

He was in a Zoomed enclosure with reptibark, fed Repashy's CGD, misted regularly.
