My female gecko has been pooping out whole wax worms they are just a tad bit digested. I just rescued her about 2 weeks ago she was very skinny but is now picking up weight. when i first got her she had very loose stools now they are just wax worms...She is currently being treated for her sever case of worms but is doing much much better then when i first got her. Does anyone know why she is not totally digesting her meals? any help would be great
Thanks

The fact that they are going all the way through means that she is not impacted, so that is a good thing.

Geckos need heat in order for their digestive system to work properly. What are your warm side substrate temperatures, and how are you measuring them?

I just switched her to belly heat tonight, now its about 93-94 she was on a light which was also keeping her in the 90's but maybe not on the ground...I have a thermastat sitting directly over the heating pad and its at 93 right now!! So maybe she will start digesting properly!!
Thanks
