I purchased 2 adult Blizzard leopard geckos on the 31st from LLL Reptile and being the first was a holiday they shipped them on the 2nd and i received them on the 3rd of this month. During the first week neither one ate at all and on the second week i noticed signs of impaction which i treated with a few drops of olive oil in warm water. over the last few days i noticed that my female has pooped out everything she ate the day before almost completly whole and today i watched her regurgitate what i fed her last night. also the last few days she has been laying in or around the water bowl. i am including pictures of her from the day he arrived and and to day also im including a photo of what she regurgitated.

I have them both in a 10 Gallon tank as was suggested to me i also have 2 types of hides ( a small mealworm box with spagnum moss inside and a half log) as soon as i get paid i am buying a 40 gallon breeder tank as i know this tank is really on the small side. The heat/Humidity gauge usually shows between 85-90 degrees and between 10-30% humidity during the day and at night temps range from 75-80 degrees and the humidity is about the same as during the day.

The pic of both geckos is from the day they arrived and the one im concerned about is the one on the bottom

She looks very thin. In Denmark were I came from you can get a medical called zoolac it is a good product for animals there have impactions and eating problems. I have used the product before with great results.

its normal for new geckos to not eat for a few days to a few weeks while they settle in. the fact that they are both in a reasonably confined space could also be stressing each other out, especially the female.

she is quite long in the body so that makes her look thin but she has a fair fat storage in her tail so i think weight isnt of concern right now. you need to weigh them every few days to keep an eye on any weight loss.

how are you measuring our temps? you need to be measuring the floor temps with something like a infrared thermometer to get an accurate reading.
from reading what youve put i would suggest that the floor temp isnot as high as you think it is thus they can digest their food correctly.

the other thing would be taking them to a vet for a parasite check to make sure.
