How long can cryptosporidium live on a surface?

Having seen the effects a couple years ago of crypto blowing through a batch of baby leopard geckos at the store I work at.... I really feel for you. I can't add much to the conversation, except for this. It was very difficult for me to get a clean diagnosis. Multiple fecals from multiple sick geckos turned up with almost nothing, due to the nature of the infection. I sent three in for necropsy and only one came back positive. We did everything we possibly could, both with medicine and with husbandry, and still lost all of them. I think the lengths you're going to are amazing and I hope you find the answers you're looking for.
He was kinda slim, but I guess that was cuz of the lower... metabolism? does metabolism affect how often the gecko eats?
come to think of it, kidney failure may have been part of it, maybe even the plain cause of moon's death. She had a blue belly, and her tail never fully got down to the bone. sun did however, and didn't have a blue belly.
pluto on the other hand- he's fine. I actually didn't bother him while sleepwalking.
he did that himself- i have no clue why, but he moves his cup hide around from time to time, and generally pushes his stuff around.
today he flipped his cup for the third time.
