So, I was fishing around here and on google for the last few days trying to figure out what might be wrong with my female leopard gecko Neara. I think she might have parasites of some kind but I'm not sure. I've attached a picture of her most recent poop.
About your leo:
- Sex: Female
- Age & Weight: 1.5 years and 62 grams last time I checked
- How long have you owned your leo: 1.5 years
- Where was he/she obtaine: Local pet store
A) Health/History
- How often do you handle your leo: Once or twice a week, only to clean the cage basically
- Is your leo acting any different today? If so how does he/she normally act which differs from now: They're acting pretty normal for the most part
- Has he/she had any problems in the past, if so please describe: She tends to like to go on hunger strikes
B) Fecals
- Describe (look any different than normal): They're really loose. The color is normal though, and when she has poo that is just urate there is a TON of liquid
- When was the last time he/she went: Last night
C) Problem
- Please briefly describe the problem and how long it has been going on: She won't eat. I decided if she doesn't eat this week I'm going to order some silk or phoenix worms to see if she'll eat that. Her poo also doesn't look normal. She hasn't eaten in 3 weeks or so.
Housing:
A) Enclosure
- Size: 20 gallon
- Type: Glass
- Type of substrate: Reptile Carpet
- Hides, how many, what kind: Two, one on the hot and one on the cold side. They're those zoo-med hides
B) Heating
- Heat source: I have a zoo-med UTH and because of how cold it gets in my room I also have a heat lamp.
- Cage temps: Cool: 75-80 Hot: 90-95
- Method of regulating heat source: Plug/unplug the lamp and/or heating pad
- What are you using to measure your temps: Probe
- Do you have any lights: As mentioned above, yes.
C) Cage mates
- How many: None
- Describe health, or previous problems: None
Describe Diet:
A) Typical diet
- What you're feeding: I feed her crickets or superworms 2 or 3 times a week. When it was crickets it would be 2-4 medium sized, and if i was feeding superworms id give her two superworms.
- How are you feeding: I've hand fed her up until recently, I've left a bowl of mealworms in there.
B) Supplements:
- What vitamin/minerals are you using: Repashay Calcium with D3. I'd use it every 3rd feeding.
- What are you gut loading food with: Carrots, this cricket water source stuff and potatoes.
Every time I post the above information people say that's fine, so I don't know what could have went wrong aside from a bad cricket. My other two reptiles (My other female leo and my crestie) are fine though. I'll also post a recent picture of her.
