Stick tail- caused by the parasite Cryptosporidium varanae, is a deadly, and extremely contagious parasite with no cure. Symptoms are a tail that is so skinny it looks like a twig, body will be emaciated, diarrhea, spending time in cold side of tank and will not use heat mat, visible white spots on liver through belly skin, and loss of apatite. If you think your gecko has stick tail bring your gecko to the vet and get it tested for the parasite. If it turns up positive have your gecko humanely euthanized. There in so cure and your gecko will slowly and painfully die.
