I discovered today my Leopard Gecko Dave has some kind of sore lump/patch, at the base of his tail on the underneath of him. His tail is also looking very very thin.
Of course I'm going to take him to the vets first things in the morning (Well, the reptile place I got him from because I'm not sure if an average vet place deals in reptiles? Does anyone know if i need to take him to a special vets? Its almost 7pm so no where is open i dont think)
But for now im really worried about him and wanted any kind of advice or find out maybe what it could be or if i could help him?
He has a diet of meal worms, and always had acsess to fresh calcium and water. I don't often see him eating, i wonder if he just dosent eat much or he eats when i'm not looking.
Hes sometimes had a beetle or two wondering around his tank, i usually catch them and extract them but due to meal worms escaping from the dish often, im worried if it was anything to do with the beetles maybe biting him and making him sore?
He's also been sleeping what seems like all the time this past few days, usually he'd be seen walking around or awake a lot
Whenever i'd open the cage door he'd always wake up or be on the alert, but he just sleeps now...
I appreciate any advice you can give!
Thankyou so much!
