Such as: 
 1. In your experience, what is their average lifespan in non-expert captivity? 
 2. How often should they shed their skin and do they eat</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 10</generator><item><title>Re: Geckos</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/41513?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 20 Jul 2011 12:00:53 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:ac8a8dae-1759-4ae4-9eb0-d2c1a015d1d7</guid><dc:creator>Mark Rowland</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;1) 10-20 years&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2) Skin shed every 2-5 weeks usually. Shed in pieces and is eaten&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3) There is some variation in size. How accurate is your sexing, what is their weight and age?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4) Clutches are usually of 2 eggs, and they can lay 5-6 clutches per year, usually 6 weeks after mating, females can be quiescent however so there is variation&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;5) If you mean distortion of the spectacle, Its likley a sub spectacular abscess. Ga ventral fenestration of the spectacle and lavage with culture. Home on antibiotics.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Goodluck&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
