Hello all,
Did anyone ever experience this? I have an adult leopard gecko that frequently wets the paper towel substrate. This wetting is clear like water but it smells like urine, even though gecko urate is often solid and white. Otherwise this is a healthy gecko that eats, behaves normally and produces healthy offspring. This situation has been going for a long while with no decay of health or visible issues.
What may be the cause of this? I have many geckos in my collection and none has this situation. All other paper towels are dry. First I considered that he was spilling the water dish but have verified not to be the case. He just wets the papel towels surface over a large area of the tub. It's really strange. I have also found the clear watery fluid on top of the plastic of a hide and it's like a puddle of water but it smells so it isn't pure water.
