Hello,
I'm a little concerned about my leo, Sonny. She's peeing liquids and no solids. I did a bit of research and found out it can be due to stress or it's completely normal. Could this be it? She has been climbing all over the tank, and I have been handling her a bit more because it seems like she wants to climb some more (clawing at the glass when I come in) and there isn't much in her tank. When I put my hand in, she immediately comes over and starts climbing up my arm. Also, the only appetite she seems to have is for wax worms. She hasn't eaten any super worms since her last shed which was a week or 2 ago. I used wax worms to see if she even had an appetite, and well, she gladly ate them. I'm hoping she'll have her appetite back soon, and I really hope she's okay because 1) she's my very first leo and I love her very much! 2) I'm going on vacation in a week for a week and a half D: So vacation and her being sick do not got well together at all. Thanks in advance for your help!
About your leo:

- Is your leo acting any different today? If so how does he/she normally act which differs from now. : I guess she's a bit more active than usual; climbing all over her tank. Also, she hasn't eaten since her last shed which was a week or two ago. The only food she ate were a few wax worms I used to see if she was even hungry. She has no appetite for superworms, but she'll gladly eat wax worms.

I just gave her 2 wax worms to see if she even had an appetite because she didn't eat before or after her shed, and she was looking thinner than usual. But now I'm just waiting for her to get hungry enough for supers again because 2 wax worms is her limit for the month xD Thanks again!
