One of my geckos has stopped eating and is getting rather thin. This all started when his mate bit him VERY hard on the nose when they both started to eat the same super worm. Anyway, I am doing everything I am suppose to do. (feeding him the emergency RX, ect.) Someone once mentioned candling the gecko (not an egg) to see its insides. My gecko is thin enough that last night, he stood up against the side of the aquarium and the light shown through him and I saw a black area. I know (or have read) that the stomach normally can look that way but this black area went along his entire right side. It starts at about where you would imagine the stomach would start (just below where the lung might be) and it is black all the way down the right side then the black moves a tad bit to the midline of the abdomen and then continues down to his bottom. So basically, it is only transparent just a little bit on the left side all the way down. Does anyone know why this is? I would love to find a website that shows leopard gecko anatomy in the form of a diagram. Maybe I could tell by seeing such a diagram what I am seeing that is black. Any ideas?
Thanks,
