No visible markings at all.
...as miraculously as he got sick, just 2 nights ago, all bleeding and pussing stopped. He began eating like normal, as normal as he can with a dried tongue (nooooo it may need to be amputated). He's active, though a smidge grumpy, and the blood pooling around the back of his head is clearing nicely. He's tired but not weak. He's got full use of every affect body part I can see and he's got his normal appetite back. I bet there is some permanent neurological or muscular damage, but I can assess the extent of that somewhat when he's done recovering.
At least we can rule out for sure, as if we didn't already, something like Metabolic Bone Disease.
Other options for this weirdness may be bacterial or viral, but this gecko comes in contact with all our other Crested Geckos fairly often as we let them interact with each other when they are out playing. So it would have to be non contagious, but how would he get it? Maybe a toxin then, but his cage is done up the same as all the other Crested Geckos, nothing different to report. It's a real mystery, I honestly thought with the amount of blood he lost and continued to lose that night that he was for sure not going to make it. Amazing resiliance in this species, eh?
