I looks like a mack snow albino, but like I said in the other thread, I would need an eye shot to tell for sure.

 

[Lindz0518]

Also it's tail is really skinny

Yea.. Tail looks skinny, belly looks bloated.. I dunno man

 

[Ozy]

That leo looks HELLA bloated!! Leos aren't supposed to be all out of proportion like that....

ACK! Double post. SORRY

Question.. Where did you get it?

 

[Embrace Calamity]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed this, since it wasn't mentioned in the other thread. Given that it seems thin but is bloated, it should be checked for parasites.

I work at a vets office i've done a fecal test on him/her and didn't find anything. Its tail is skinny and he hasn't eaten but its only been 2 days and i've read sometimes when they go threw a move they'll stop eating for a few days. I got it from someone who got it from +++++ and decided they didn't want it anymore. Both had it on sand but has pooped twice since ive had him and i saw it eat some mealworms when i went to pick it up. Im really trying to wait for him to settle before i drag him to work with me to have a vet look at him and stress him out more than he already is. I may talk to one of the vets and see if he thinks i should give some mineral oil.

here are some more photos of him/her my ipod takes crappy pictures lol.

I had been planning on ordering from a breeder I went ahead & took this one cause they gave it to me for like $10

 

[Lindz0518]

If he is pooping then the mineral oil probably isn't needed, it's still hard to tell with the pictures. I would keep an eye on him, you might try pin head crickets instead of mealworms, you might have to pull the back legs off, sometimes quicker prey gets them in hunting mode. Also get a good supplement like Repashy Calcium Plus to dust the feeders with.

I got the repashy calcium dust. I have some crickets to..Haven't tried pulling the legs off ill have to do that sometime today. Hes not lethargic at all or anything he just wont eat and hes already so skinny hes not even in the slightest bit interested in mealworms or the cricket i had in there with him

 

[Lindz0518]

Maybe just the stress. Probably leave him alone for about 12 hours then try again. The best time to feed it right after dark in my own opinion, that seems to be when they are most active, and willing to hunt.

Sometimes they won't eat for the first few days in their new environment because they're still adjusting. I wouldn't be too concerned yet, but given that he's so thin, the sooner he eats, the better. Just keep trying. Make sure he sees the cricket or whatever you have in there. And you can dust every feeding with the Repashy stuff, unlike most supplements.

I tried taking the crickets back legs off and dusted it & dumped it in front of his hide and walked off for 5mins or so came back and it was gone. Then I had some meal worms in his cage and i put them in front of his hide and he ate 3 or 4 of them so yay he pooped again so ill probably take that sample to work with me and test for parasites again

 

[Lindz0518]

Glad he is eating. Maybe he is just shy.

That's good. I hope he puts on some weight.
