 Big Gecko Problem

Hi, I have 2 crested gecko’s, female and male. The female is about 3.5 years old and male is around 1.5.
The other day I found the female with a wound on her back, and unable to really move around. She is still in the same situation.
It seems as if her back legs/tail are paralyzed. The tail is completely limp.
Now, just this evening I had male out and all of a sudden he went stiff... Catatonic like...
He cant move... or do anything..
This must be some kind of disease? Can anyone help?!

Thanks,
Brian

whats the set up like? temps cage size? substrate? humidity? are the 2 together? what kind of diet and supplements are you using for them?

alot of different things can cause any kind of issues... best bet it to locate a herp vet and get them there asap herpvetconnection.com to find one and if they are together best bet would also be to seperate them

it could be a disease, but it sounds like something in the enclosure may have caused it like squee said, so it would be really helpful if you could tell us about the set up. i would also definitely say that you need to separate and put them on paper towels to prevent an infection of any kind and take them to the vet immediately!!!!!

let us know whats going on!
i really hope that everything works out alright!
