I'm sure it's fine. :)

I think so too.

Also, I think I just got him to eat a mealworm. Maybe. It's hard for me to know because he won't eat if he can see me. :|

So I'm hiding in the other room hoping he'll help himself.

On mealworms, am I correct to believe they are like most insects in when the shed it takes time for the exoskeleton to harden? If so, then maybe it'd be a good idea to feed him the freshly shed mealworms over the other?

**The secretary called back and wants me to bring another stool sample. I asked if I could talk to the vet and she told me no.

Anywho, I just hope he can poop again. From what the person who called me said she wants to send it off to a bigger lab or something, she wasn't very clear. The thing is she want it fresh, she said if I can get one on Monday or today that would be best since they are closed Sunday.

Also my thermostat came in today! YAY!

I got some Reptaboost too!

Oh crap. My ReptaBoost didn't come with its mixing instructions. It was the last box they had. How do I know how much to mix?

That is a THIN TAIL.
Is he eating regularly? Does he look lazy or lethargic? Is he energetic?
If he's not eating, and he's lazy, it probably means parasites.

Well I'll call them in the morning, unless somebody here knows. How lame. Thanks for the customer service idea though. I didn't think to call them lol.

They might have 24/7 customer service. You could try making another thread about it too in the hopes someone who knows might see it.

Hmmm... Interesting.

He pooped, barely anything but when I went to clean it with a paper towel I noticed while it looked gray sitting there it smeared green on the paper towel....

My geckos poop looked green like that (he had Parasites though)

Well hopefully I can get him to poop on Monday so I can get the vet a good sample, sucks they are closed on the weekends. Then we can get to treating him.

Also I managed to get the reptaboost directions. :)

Good. :) I think if you keep with that, he'll (hopefully) recover. Just be sure to get your vet a stool sample ASAP.

~Maggot

Me too. I am. It's just a gamble for Monday because she really wants it fresh since it's going to have to travel away to the lab. Hopefully once I get him steady with the feedings he'll poop. XD

I've never had so much excitement involving poop before, it's ridiculous.

Reptile people appear to be really into their poop. Never seen it with any of animal, that's for sure.

Seriously. It's so crazy. I don't think I've talked about poop so much in my life, but if talking about poop saves my gecko then I will talk about poop, gosh darn it. *is determined*

Here's some poop. Fresh, and oddly the color as peas when wiped up...
