Hi everyone came home yesterday to find my gecko dead in his cave.
Seen fang marks on his stomach and also found a fresh egg sack at the top of his cave.
Im thinking it must of been a huntsman?
 
That's sad....:(

What sort of gecko? I didn't know a spider could do that.....rotten things :x
 
Wow, bad luck :( RIP lil' gecko

Good idea to check for spiders, i never thought of that-
 
i thought they ate spiders! :(

sorry to hear that, thats awful!
 
How could a spider big enough to get in the enclosure kill the gecko? I am guessing you don't have a lid?

You'd be surprised just how much spiders can flatten themselves to fit in little nooks and crevices.

Nar I keep spiders and geckos and make sure they can't get in or out of enclosures :D

That's why I asked
 
that sucks! poor little thing. guess thats nature for u. might have to keep your next one in a more secure inclosure :(
 
Seems unusual that it didn't eat it, spiders do not really pick fights for no reason. Also seems strange that it left the eggsac. Have a pic? Most rovers (huntsmans included) would keep it with them.
 
doesnt sound right i dont think a huntsman could kill a gex, could it? i have huntsmans all over my house, now your freaking me out..

Would kill/eat a small one easy enough, spiders are VERY capable predators. Like I said above though some of the other stuff seems odd.
 
if it where me the spider would be officially sledgehammered/shotgunned/minigunned/nuked then i would be sad for the gecko
