Hello, recently i bought 2 additional leopard geckos who were adult, and since they are quite big, i had to put them in the enclosure where my little gecko was, the enclosure is a 24x18x18 by exoterra, of course i couldn't put the little guy with the big ones since they would probably bite him or accidentally make him loose his tail, so i had to put him in his ancient 20 gallon.
Since then, he looks extremely stressed,its been 2 days he didn't eat, i tried feeding him waxworms,butterworms,crickets,mealies, nothing, he ate a waxworm one night and in the morning i saw what it seemed like a regurgitated worm near his humid hide.
He's also been pooping liquid with his urine, basically no solid poop , but brown liquid with the white urine.
What is really scary is when i take him and put him in my hand, is that he stays there, walking normally but then suddenly he will stop and open his mouth has hes about to lick, he licks his eyes, and opens his mouth again like hes going to puke or something and his mouth stays like that for a bit, then opens it again, it really looks like he wants to puke but isnt able, i really dont know.
I was wondering if it could be parisites, but then again, he was fine just before i brought the other 2, the same day i changed him hes become like that, also i think he shed his skin since hes become a bit more pink in the head, and the blue on top of his eyes seems clearer.
The other two guys seem to have lots of fun wandering in the cage, and climbing the leafs i put in etc, which makes me kinda sad lol because the little guys looked happy in there too.
Atm he's in the 20 gallon, with heating pad, calcium dish, humid hide, dry hide on hot side, temperature is at around 91-92, and his substrate atm is paper towel, he used to be on reptile carpet, the big guys are on sand.
Edit: i just looked underside, he seems to have a blue spot(not dark) but a clear blue spot right in the middle of his chest area, also looked at him with a strong light behind since hes quite transparent at that age (4-5months) and he doesnt seem to have any weird stuff in his belly area, there are 2 white spots, near the end belly area, which i think are fat pockets or something like that, then there is something that looks like a liver, then the blue spot thing and other organs i think.
Edit2: the blue spot is one of his organs lol..i guess hes stressing me too.
