Early in June NICA member Roger Kelly found a sluggish Asian gecko. It had several skin swellings, so he sent photos to Dr Karrie Rose, a veterinary pathologist at Taronga Zoo, who specialises in diseases of wildlife.
He is asking environmentally concerned people in the Noosa area to let him know of any sick geckos or lizards of any sort, especially if they have skin lumps or ulcers or head swellings. If any such reptiles can be caught and kept for him to pick up, he will arrange for specimen submission to Taronga. Roger Kelly tel. 07 5455 4391/0434 901 758
