in my opinion... all fecals that test foor anything should be treated, i would suspect in the wild the geckos ptolly dont have much of a prlbme but cince we keep them in confined quater near their own poop blah blah blah parasites even the most common like pins can get to be very much a probl;em. if you shotgun anything do it with the help of your vet for correct dosages... cocidia i belive is treated with albon.. pins with panacure, ivermec treats a few things including tapes them then you have flagyl. panacure is RELATIVELY safe but anything in too large wuantities can be harm full,,, ivermec and flagyl can be down right deadly if improperly dosed and the more common antibiotuics like albon,gentamiacin and bautril need to be dosed correctly and administered correctly... some are IM, some SUB-Q... lots to think about
