Some of my geckos are participating in an academic study at the University of Pennsylvania vet school with Dr. La'Toya Latney. When she was finished, Dr. Latney shared with me a bunch of the xrays they took of the geckos. I know I found them fascinating, and figured some of you would like to see just what geckos look like on the inside as well!

Gravid Chahoua - Belite
[Blintz and Berliner ended up hatching out of the eggs seen in this x-ray]

Male Chahoua - Green Man

Female gargoyle - Habibi

Female Leachie - Helga

Male gargoyle with regenerated tail - Quasimodo

On the gravid chahoua, Belite, you can see how she is pulling calcium from her bones due to how dark the middle of them are with only a thin bright white wall. She should be laying those eggs very soon.
