Are you sure it was starving and not something you did? Yet to amaze me, going out the next day and getting another one!

I'm not saying it was something you did. From the sound if it, it's death may have been inevitable. Who knows?

But be that as it may, your record with tokay geckos has not been good. If this one croaks (Godforbid)....maybe you might wanna stay away from that particular species for awhile. Just a thought...

You shouldn't feel to bad (about this one) it really wasn't in the best of shape, and are a lot of work to get back on track. Was it drinking ok aswell as eating?

sorry to hear about that, sounds like you did your best...unfortunately sometimes they are just too far gone...at least try to feel good that you made an attempt to save an animal that deserved better

As I mentioned in my other post, you didn't do much to save him. Nice "Rescue".
