About your leo:
- Male (I’m pretty sure)
- approximately 3 years old, 45g
- have owned for 3 years
- pet store adoption
A) Health/History
- we handle him frequently. We try to hold him for at least 20 minutes a day but some days it doesn’t happen
- he has been eating much less over the past few weeks. He just shed a few days ago and threw up a ball of skin. He then go the skin from his head stuck and I had to take it off for him. Since then he has been keeping his eyes closed even when he’s awake and today started gagging but not producing anything from it and he hasn’t eaten any worms in about a week
- No problems in the past
B) Fecals
- normal feces but less I assume because he’s not eating
- he has never been to the vet. He has always been very healthy
