[gecko]Leopard gecko problem

[Dana]

Hi:

This is good advice except that I would only use a sugar solution (not =20=

salt).  I bathed one of my Giant Day geckos in a sugar solution when he =20=

got too excited and his hemipenes were sticking out.  It works very =20
quickly, within 30 seconds to a minute.

Good luck,
Dana
