Greetings,
As you may be my last hope I'm writting to you in connection to my 1.5yrs old male high-yellow leopard gecko. Last monday (10.09 -12) he shed normally and eaten his skin. Since then he refuses to eat anything. He always hides never shows himself, and the femalse albino leopard gecko 1yrs old, never stay where the male is at.
The vivarium is 58cm wide, 35cm tall, 40cm deep. The subrate is a 5mm width wooden floor covering. There's a water dish with everyday fresh skin warm (~24°C) water; also 24/7 Reptile micro calcium. There're 2 hiding places, one in a rock and another under a tree which doesn't have any loose parts. Lightning is a 20Watts spot light which grants 31-32°C temps during the day, and 25-27°C during the night. Right so this would be my vivarium setup.
About the female gecko:
She's fine, eating well something like 10 crickets, or 15-20 silk works every other day (max every other day, sometimes she eats daily). She's always keeping her distance from the male ever since the male stopped eating.
The Male symptoms:
- Doesn't eat since 10.09 -12. Didn't really loose much weight, maybe his tail ecome thicker with 1mm. Before it had 16mm diameter, while currently its around 14.5mm.
- Even if I try to force feed him, he spits out the food.
- He got medicines from the vet along with a injection, but slowly he refuses to eat also the medicine.
- After he ate the medicine I happened to check his throat and I could see the medicine deep in his throat. Like He didn't (or coudln't) swallow it.
- He nearly has no poop. Only 2 times since last Monday. Both of these was some really light gray, soft along with a really huge amount of liquid. No sign of urate as long as I could see.
There were really no changes to their vivarium recently. He shed on last Monday between 11:30 A.M. and 12:00 A.M. normally. There were no signes of anything that could went wrong, but ever since then he stopped eating. Before that he used to eat approximately 10 crickets, and 5 to 10 silk worms.
The feeding times were always between 4 to 6 P.M. Once a week the crickets has been sprayed with JBL MicroCalcium, and has been fed with JBL Terra Cricket (for vitamins) 24hrs before feeding.
I've been to a VET already but they has no clue what might be wrong. At the place where I've bought him, the other leopard geckos produce similar symptoms as mine, but they're in a lot worse condition. The Vet told that they will not surive, about mine she had no idea.
Lets see what else informations could I spare with you guys...
- There's no sign of any infection from the outside. His claws and teeth are strong (Trust me, he bit me pretty badly the other day). His nose is normal, along with his ears. His tongue has a bright red part on the very end, but its the same with the female. This is approximately 2mm wide, then the tongue turns pink.
