Digestive system not working? *graphic*

[Master_Lazell]

I woke up this morning and cleo had gone on a pooping spree for one, but look closely in these pictures... These crickets are not digested, and are still almost whole!:main_huh: What can I do?

 

[LeapinLizards]

What are the temps in her enclosure? Floor and ambient on both sides?

 

[Master_Lazell]

the temp is 85 right now and doesnt change much past that... not sure what you mean by ambient

 

[LeapinLizards]

Is the 85 air temperature, or floor? The floor temps in your tank should be in the 90s on the hot side for complete digestion.

 

[Master_Lazell]

its the air, how do I know what the floor temp is? :S

 

[LizMarie]

You need a digital thermometer with a probe to measure floor temps!

Not enough belly heat will cause the NOT to digest their food completely.

Those crickets look more like they were regurgitated, not pooped out. It may be a one-time thing; it happens sometimes. If it continues to happen, a vet visit is in order. I also agree that you should make sure the ground temperatures are measured accurately and if they're really in the mid 80's, they should be higher.

I guess he needs for calcium but idk, but take her to the vet

Temps would be my guess as well. Do what you can to raise the floor temp.

I agree it looks like regurgitation. Belly temperatures could be not optimum, or the gecko ate too much and vomited.
