Both of my females (They are housed together) have an air bubble-like spot. I'm not really sure what to do, but hopefully someone will be able to tell me. I can't take them to a vet this week (Money issues unfortunately) but I get paid monday, and will take them on my next day off, if I need to.
About your leo:
- Sex-Both Female
- Age & Weight-One is over a year, and one is closer to about 7 months I believe.
- How long have you owned your leo-Make 6 months for the oldest, 4-5 for the younger one
- Where was he/she obtained (ex. Pet store, breeder, wild caught, friend)-Friend and Petstore
A) Health/History
- How often do you handle your leo-3-4 times a week, sometimes more
- Is your leo acting any different today? If so how does he/she normally act which differs from now.-No, they are acting normal, eating, sleeping, etc
- Has he/she had any problems in the past, if so please describe.-Not that I'm aware of
B) Fecals
- Describe (look any different than normal) Normal
- When was the last time he/she went-I don't know, but I know its recently.
C) Problem
- Please briefly describe the problem and how long it has been going on
An air bubble-like area behind their front leg, the older one's is on her rightside, the other's is on the left side. They don't act like they are in pain when I touch it, and still act normal, alert, and willing to put up a fight if they don't want to be bothered.
Housing:
A) Enclosure
- Size 20gL
- Type (ex. glass tank) Glass
- Type of substrate-Repltile carpet
- Hides, how many, what kind-3, middle, hot and cool side, the middle one is a humid one
B) Heating
- Heat source-Overhead lamp (I don't have a great heat system, so its just to help) and an UTH
- Cage temps (hot side, cool side)-90 for the hot, and I forgot what I have the cool side at right now... I will check when I get home.
- Method of regulating heat source- Thermostat
- What are you using to measure your temps-thermometer
- Do you have any lights (describe)-yes, just a small overhead heat lamp
C) Cage mates
- How many (males, females)-its just the 2 females
- Describe health, or previous problems-no previous problems
Describe Diet:
A) Typical diet-Mealworms, varying amounts as the sizes vary, normally no more than 15 a week if they are giants.
- What you're feeding (how often, how much) Meal worms, 15 each a week, depending on size
- How are you feeding (hand fed, left in dish, ect) Dish
B) Supplements (describe how often)
- What vitamin/minerals are you using (list brands)I have Repashy Calcium without d-3 at all times in the cage, and dust food with calcium d-3
- What are you gut loading food with-apples and oatmeal
I just don't want them to get sick, or run the risk of getting my third gecko sick. The third gecko is in a separate cage still, but the cages are next to each other because of lack of space to spread them out. I will upload pictures if you need them when I get home. Thanks!
