Marbled Gecko Death [GRAPHIC]

[Gecko]

Both of my marbled geckos died yesterday morning, I'm thinking it's because of the redness. It actually seems like there is tiny cuts there aswell. Any ideas on why they died? THANKS.

How large we're the crickets you were feeding them? We're they housed together? It looks like it is wounds from fighting.

No idea what could have caused that. I'm so sorry. Poor babies.

Could they have burnt them selves?

I had a young frog die from impact after slipping off the glass surface of his walls.

where they housed together cause it looks like the have definitely been fighting with each other,

overheated would be my guess.

i have seen this before with over heating the blood vessels seem to collapse and breakdown just under the skin.a bit like what i look like after playing indoor cricket..

Looks like they have been fighting. I've had the same problem.
RIP little geckos.

Tiny cuts and red brusin Sounds like a fight to the death. Usually one kills the other.... Sorry for your loss maybe next time separate enclosures. How long did you have them ?

To me looks like overheating
Reasoning : The redness is blood vessels ( as someone stated ) and the little cuts will be little 'niggles' showing through due to dryness or the skin ( shrivelling ).
