Emergency

[Plecker]

I have a leopard that is 2 months old. Last night he shed successfully. Now later today he regurgitated what appears to be his skin and following that I've found irregular poop. He is distance from the other geckos and inactive. I need answers!

Please list what conditions he is being kept in. Enclosure size, surface temps, hides available, substrate, etc.

 

[Plecker]

20 gal. long 5 hides. she has been in all hides and fine behavior with other geckos. heat lamp at warm end. its 85 degrees to 82 on hot side and cool side is about 80. we have the gecko carpet. the substrate is paper towels

85 is a little cold. What kind of substrate do you use?
How many other geckos do you have in a 20?

 

[Plecker]

we have 4 in the 20 gallon but they are all babies they are all really active until today one got really sick. what do u recommend with the temp? do you have a idea on why he is sick all the sudden?

Belly Heat To Eat

we have 4 in the 20 gallon but they are all babies they are all really active until today one got really sick. what do u recommend with the temp? do you have a idea on why he is sick all the sudden?

They need REAL BELLY heat to process food [shed included]
Do you have UTH or ? some kind of overhead?
Need under tank heat.
Need to warm their bellies.
My hot sides on most run 90 to 108
but I have tile and carpet on floors.
And geckos thrive on all foods and sheds.
take care. Hj​

HJ's right. your heat source is most probably the cause of ill health. change to a under tank heater and the problem should correct its self. A faecal sample to test for parasites is also a good idea.

regurgitated

I have also read where babies sometimes regurgitate at first,
until they learn not to overeat. Usually once.
Take care. HJ​
