Gothra, I had to take my leopard gecko to the vet as a result of a yellowish crystalized urate. In my case, the crystal impacted the gecko and, despite warm soaks, had to be manually removed. The vet said that calcium crystals in the urates aren't particularly common, but he does see them from time to time and feels that they occur from oversupplementation of calcium. The lizard (5-year old female) was fed every other day, supplemented (rep-cal) twice a week, and given herptivite once a week. The vet suggested that I dust her with calcium only once a week and let her ingest whatever she needs through her calcium bowl.
Good luck,
Eric Joe
