Yesterday, 12/24/19 I noticed my gecko had poop stuck half in half out. I immediately looked up what to do in that scenario, to give a bath and gently rub off poop. When I tried to pick him up he would curl his tail at me and run off, other time's that I tried to pick him up he 'bites' me. (I've been the only owner and have NEVER abused/hurt him. Day 1 when I got him he went in the terrarium and has never been friendly to me since)
I saw him try to rip the poop out with his own mouth and I knew it wasn't right. I got water on the stuck poop and figured by morning he'd poop the rest out or pull it out (it was 1AM) so I went to bed. At 12 PM I woke up and he still had it on him, but he was dead. Completely dead, his mouth was dis-colored and were his eyes.
I'm left wondering what the hell even caused this, and how it could kill him overnight. Everything I read seemed so relaxed like poop stuck was absolutely no big deal at all. Which is why I went to bed to help him out the following day. But for it to have killed him in under 11 hours is mind-blowing. Please, anyone who might know. Thanks.
I've read other peoples geckos died very quickly too with the poop being stuck. Does it just back them up so far? I really don't understand....
