because I've bought some geckos from people here.. and I don't want them to think I'm a horrible owner.. because I'm not..
I've done everything possible, fecals, neg. she's eating.. but she's not gaining fast enough..
Background story before I get into more, I bought her at a franchised pet store, there reptiles are always nice and taken care of and they are friendly knowledgable people. Well.. obviously they didn't know she was gravid.. or.. just laying unfertile eggs, I will never know, because of the 3 clutches she laid, the eggs never made it far enough to candle to tell if they were fertile..
She was around 30ish grams when I got her.
But.. long story short ANOTHER female ... but this time she's eating, and she's suffering from someones stupidity..
And it's taking a toll on me, I have a raging headache.. because I don't know what to do.. I'm on the verge of tears, I've tried wax worms.. I tried the slurry but like Marcia said.. which I read somewhere I don't remember it's a double edge sword.. I want her to eat normal food and gain weight..
I feel like at this point, she is going to die. She wont go over to the warm side of her tank, she's lethargic.. and cold freezing cold.
Do you think she is trying to cool herself to not produce anymore eggs? Or is she doing this to shut down.. ?
What else do I try.. ?
How many more clutches am I going to have to agonize over?
I know why everyone says they want their females up to a certain weight because they don't want to go through this, if there was ever a poster child for not breeding your females too young, or under weight it would be this one.
