QuestionHello Tracie! I am in the Keys this week and there is a Gecko on our porch and I think he is sick. Of course wild Geckos run from you and this one just moved it's head. I thought it was odd so I went over and it let me touch it, so I'm pretty sure he is sick. I put a little bit of bottled spring water next to him but he isn't drinking it. He has been in the same spot for hours and looks "white". Is there anything I can for him? Thanks Lori
AnswerHello Lori,
Where in the Keys? We lived in Key West for 4 years. It is beautiful there, but expensive.
Yes, most definitely, if he is not running from you. Are you sure that he is not shedding though?
If you are not sure, I would get a tall plastic bin that he can't escape from & put him in there with some type of heating, or a heating pad with a towel in between him & the heating pad.
Otherwise, if he is sick, a predator will most likely get him.
What color is the gecko? Is it a large house gecko?
