About your leo:
- Sex
male
- Age & Weight
unknown age
- How long have you owned your leo
about a year or more...
- Where was he/she obtained (ex. Pet store, breeder, wild caught, friend)
was found outside by an acquaintance during october of a very cold year. they ket it for a while but were unable to care for it so ive had him since
A) Health/History
- How often do you handle your leo
not as often as i should. i try but he is uninterested. i dont think he was properly cared for at all before he got to me.
- Is your leo acting any different today? If so how does he/she normally act which differs from now.
not eating, seems sluggish, mouth slightly opened on right side with a small amount of crustiness toward the back
- Has he/she had any problems in the past, if so please describe.
had mites when i first got him but quickly gained appetite and size once cleaned up and given heat, real tank, hides, etc. i think the mites affected his vision for a bit but seemed fine after a week or two
- also the tip of his tail a few months back somehow came off...i found it in the tank, kept everything very clean, sprayed the wound with neopsporin occasional - it grew back and looks great
B) Fecals
- Describe (look any different than normal)
was runny for a few times but dry now...small amounts since his appetite has gone away but seems dry. I used to have sphagnum moss in his humidity box but i noticed it was in his feces a lot when i began to notice his decrease in food intake, quickly changed to paper towels.
- When was the last time he/she went
2 days ago
C) Problem
- Please briefly describe the problem and how long it has been going on
mouth slightly opened on right side with small amount of crust where top lip meets bottom. no appetite or no interest in trying, sluggish, lost weight in tail, has shed in the last week
Housing:
A) Enclosure
- Size 36x18x16
- Type (ex. glass tank)
glass
- Type of substrate
tiles (use to have sand and tiles but noticed some in feces so changed to carpet and then to tile when the carpet would get stuck on toes)
- Hides, how many, what kind
2 hides (one little cave-like hide on hot side and a large split, hollowed log in the middle) and one humidity box on cool side (tupperware)
B) Heating
- Heat source
heat lamp on top (red) and heat pad underneath
- Cage temps (hot side, cool side)
86-94, 70-75
- Method of regulating heat source
- What are you using to measure your temps
thermometer/hydrometer on cool side and a digital therm/hydr on hot side
- Do you have any lights (describe)
i have a uvb light (blue) additionally but unsure if it is needed or not
C) Cage mates
- How many (males, females)
none
- Describe health, or previous problems
Describe Diet:
A) Typical diet
- What you're feeding (how often, how much) lately not much - i keep a dish of mealworms in there dusted with calcium (i used to do that as well as every couple day shake some crickets in there (6-10) but lately he doesnt seem to get them)
- How are you feeding (hand fed, left in dish, ect)
hand fed, dish, and just let him hunt
B) Supplements (describe how often)
- What vitamin/minerals are you using (list brands)
flukers calcium with d3
- What are you gut loading food with
flukers cricket quencher w/ calcium and flukers cricket food
dust worms and cricket with powder
so after his tail broke off i watch him a lot. his eating slowed because he was hiding so much but soon his appetite came back. but all of a sudden he stopped eating again about a month ago, has lost weight (although most was during the tail healing) and he does seem interested in 'hunting' but never seems to eat and is no longer interested in me hand feeding (which he would always do). ive just noticed in the past few days his mouth slightly opened on one side and a small crust forming. i was able to get some pictures today and a great one of him looking like he is yawning. although i do not know if this is a yawn or some other sign. he does it very frequently and has never that much before.i feel pretty shitty for not noticing this before and i am in the process of looking for a good local vet that deals with herps. My poor Jimi
