Got your email Andrea. Nice baby pic by the way! I don't know how you get them to slow down though. Our little ones tear around like gecko tornados until they get too big to move that fast. Are the new arrivals very vocal? I've found that they demonstrate their willingness to chatter right out of the egg. Those that pitch a fit and squawk loudly tend to be much more vocal as they grow up while the ones that barely let out a peep remain so.

Sara:
While there was no apparent infection, I guess anything is possible as no necropsy was performed. She was originally liberated from a pet store where she wasn't being looked after properly. Her condition and disposition improved greatly in our care and aside from a couple of domestic disputes, she did very well. Due to her unknown history, there is no way of knowing how old she was, so age may have played a role in this as well.

We still have our original breeding pair and the two of them are doing excellent. In light of recent discussion on the subject, I'm trying to design a new enclosure for them with a water feature. Its nice that we're starting to establish a little vorax keepers network. I'm sure the shared observations and different interpretations of behaviour will benefit all of us.

BTW, I liked your old avatar better! This one is nice but...well, you know. lol!
