My gecko is gravid it has been about 4 weeks since her last clutch. I have noticed that her poo is liquified (almost a spray) with bits of cricket shells in it rather than last week when it was solid.. does this mean anything (laying soon, reabsorbtion, egg binding) it has only been like this for about 3 days..... please help if you know anything related to this.. :eek:
thanks

ps she is staying in her cool hide now rather than her warm hide if that means anything

She might be egg binding. I couldn’t say for sure, as some females take longer to lay eggs, than others. Also if her fecal matter is of that consistency I would take a fecal sample to the vet. I would also take her, just so (s)he can have a look at her.

This will happen from time to time... It can become a problem if it happens regularly... In such a case veterinary attention is needed... You might think about feeding meal worms/super worms as her staple diet with crickets as an occasional treat... Having them gutloaded with a high quality gutload such as Cody's Pro Gutload will probably help add a little extra "bulk" to her stools as well...

They usually have enough "bulk" to them.. lol but she won't touch a worm, she turns her head and closes her eyes!! Her latest has been perfectly normal... I think she reabsorbed the eggs and may have been dehydrated for those few days.. thanks for the reply.. havent gotten many as you can see :)

Sorry Kelly, many people may not know what was causing that (I know I didn't!), thus the lack of responses.. I am glad to hear that she is pooping normally now :)
