As above...he seems to be on the walls of the viv an awful lot. I just read a passage out of the Gecko book we've got, and it was saying that we should provide bark and plants etc... (which we have done) to prevent the chances of Floppy tail syndrome from sleeping vertically on the viv walls. We'll post up photos of our improved viv set up later on but we dont really know what else we can do? |

I thought floppy tail syndrome was caused by calcium deficiency _________________

No, it doesn't seem to be the result of calcium deficiency. I'm not totally convinced that it's just from 'hanging on the walls' either. _________________

On the geckospot site, it says
"It has been proposed by de Vosjoli et al that factors such as inadequate climbing material, a large heavy tail and incorrect supplementation can all contribute to floppy tail syndrome,"
But I don't think anyone really knows. _________________
