Can BD get Cryptosporidium or just Geckos? If so is it just as deadly in BDs?

jbodkin Hatchling Member Original Poster Oct 13, 2008 #3 No ... Just got a few Geckos and was researching it also. Just seemed odd that every thing I read about it would say Geckos (Did not see BD listed any where) ... Thought it was odd.
