About your leo:
- Female
- Not sure of age or weight
- Owned for 5 months
- Purchased from-+++++
A) Health/History
- Handled usually daily
- Is your leo acting any different today? If so how does he/she normally act which differs from now-lethargic, not eating, staying in hides, vomited once, diarrhea, gimpy back leg (looks like a dislocated joint or something)
- Has he/she had any problems in the past, if so please describe-just problems getting all of her shed off (white spots usually leftover on the bumps)
B) Fecals
- Diarrhea (3x today)
- Last went-just now
C) Problem
- Started w/gimpy back leg. She was having problems shedding as usual, so I gave her a lukewarm bath and seemed to easily be able to peel the shed off of her (I only did this b/c I thought it would help and it seemed to come off fairly easy...I know that generally you're not supposed to). After that her skin was very shiny and a little sticky to the touch on her head and tail. Now, her skin is flaking like dandruff. After that she hasn't eaten for about a week. Started feeding her Caloric Supplement and appetite stimulant (brand:Zilla) two days ago, so she is at least getting some nutrition. Tip of tongue is very red (never used to be). Drinking lots of water out of her dish like a dog. Yesterday she threw up after I fed her, but I may have given her too much. Today, she has had diarrhea at least 3 times and she overall just looks uncomfortable. Also, it looks as if she has chewed her tail right down to the bone (or cartilage, not sure), right at the tip.
Housing:
A) Enclosure
- Size-40 gal
- Type-glass
- Type of substrate-thick brown paper
- Hides, how many, what kind-3 total. One plastic container w/paper towel sprayed daily w/water for humid hide. One cave on warm side. One small cave on cool side.
B) Heating
- Heat source-Heat pad (under tank)
- Cage temps (hot side-85-90 F, cool side 75-80F)
- Method of regulating heat source-it's on a thermostat, set up to a dimmer switch so that I can adjust accordingly
- What are you using to measure your temps-Digital w/probe on hot side, Regular stick on thermometer w/needle on cool side
- Do you have any lights-NO lights
C) Cage mates
- How many (males, females)-Did have another male in same cage, but he seemed to be picking on her. We moved him to a separate cage within the past week. I actually thought he may have been the cause to her limp back leg, until she started having all these other issues...not sure.
- Describe health, or previous problems-No previous issues until now.
Describe Diet:
A) Typical diet
- What you're feeding (how often, how much)-Gut loaded crickets, calcium dusted mealworms. Daily, as much as she will eat. Usually 3-4 medium crickets and 4 or 5 mealworms. But she hasn't eaten anything lately.
- How are you feeding (hand fed, left in dish, ect)-Hand fed, and leave some in dish for whenever she wants.
B) Supplements (describe how often)
- What vitamin/minerals are you using (list brands)-Using Calcium w/D3 (Brand Repti Calcium) They don't sell pure calcium w/out d3 around here. (I've read you shouldn't have the kind w/ d3??)
- What are you gut loading food with: Flukers Orange Cube Complete Cricket Diet and Flukers High Calcium Cricket diet
