First off what is his setup ,temperature and so on ?so you're saying because you only spent $20 on your leo,you wont spend more than $20 for a vet visit if needed??????Also what your telling me is that your attitude towards leos is that they are disposable????

I spent 22 dollars on my Leo, but I've paid over 400 dollars in vet bills with my moms help. I think that every geckos life is worth it. So if you don't want to take him to the vet because he's worth 22 dollars why do you even have him? If the thread supplied doesn't help, and you can't find anyway give him to someone who can take him to the vet if needed.

Your obviously not emotionally attached to it enough, so see if someone else will take it. For free, because lets face it, it was only 20 dollar, and its also got eating issues.

And after getting rid of it, if you realise you want a leo again. Buy one that you will love and be willing to do anything to save.

Maybe if you spend a $1000 then you'll have a $1000 limit for spending at the vets!
