haha, i didnt even know there was such a thing as a cave gecko! but the leaf tails are deff cool thanks for the reply on yahoo, ill deff get some of that, but im still trying to find a correct dosage of the calcium citrate at least until the stuff you recommended gets here. the gecko needs calcium in him asap before the mbd moves to his jaw and he cant eat :/ i put some powder calcium with d3 on his nose lastnight and also dusted his worms with it, if he ate any. last time i checked, he hasnt eaten much. he does move around tho, but its normally to find a new resting place to lay. i did mathmatically find out the dosage for him that would be equivilant for a human, but i have a feeling it is a little low due to the higher calcium, body mass ratio. it came out at .17 mg...i may round it up to .20. i think until that new stuff gets here, im going to make a paste out of a single pill and split it into ten parts and give one part daily, half in morning, half at night, along with a drop from the liquid gel which is calcium with d3 maybe once or twice a week? he does have a severely broken arm, but it looks like its healed, just not correctly. ugh, cases like this make me sad
