Well, atleast attempt to figure out where the ants came from so it doesn't happen to the other gecko.


Sorry for your loss, one of my new skinks died a couple days back after only owning him for 2 weeks.

Sorry to hear about the Death..

You may have to rebuild the Tank to get rid of the ants if they took over the Tank..

I had ants kills all my frogs and Geckos once while I was gone for 3 days...I was so p.O'd.

I'm so sorry to hear about that.

I'd definitely redo the tank, then make a solid top with a fan inside so that the ants can't get back in.
