Hi, I have a female leo that is about 3 years old. She has been licking her behind once and a while, not necessarily just after pooping.
Recently she's been making a noise when doing this (passing gas? Not sure.)
When I tried to feed her tonight, she didn't seem interested either, and has been having really bad aim when she does (not often) have an appetite.
Day 2: Okay so I walked into my room and looked at her cage and saw her lifting her hands up and down, alternating lifting each one. I noticed some shed stuck on her eye and thought that was the problem, just irritation, so I removed it with a warm washcloth. Not long after putting her back in her tank I saw her continue to do this again. Her hands are also a bit red.
I'm really worried about her, please help.
She does not live with another gecko nor has she ever been bred before.
