About your leo:
- Sex- Male
- Age & Weight- 3-4 months, ordering scale today, but looking at fallen angels weight chart i would say aproching 30 grams
- How long have you owned your leo- 2 months
- Where was he/she obtained (ex. Pet store, breeder, wild caught, friend)-
Petco
A) Health/History
- How often do you handle your leo- multiple times daily when he climbs on the glass or tries to climb on my hand when i put it in his cage
- Is your leo acting any different today? If so how does he/she normally act which differs from now.- Not really, he has just slowed down eating
- Has he/she had any problems in the past, if so please describe.- Nope
B) Fecals
- Describe (look any different than normal) -big and normal
- When was the last time he/she went - nightly
C) Problem
- Please briefly describe the problem and how long it has been going on- Well i got my gecko from petco and he was small and a wee little on the skinny side. When i brought him home he ate almost next day. For about a month and a half he ate about ten supers and 5 crickets in a day. He shed weekly about up until this past week he dosent look he is going to shed for about another five days. Lately these past few weeks (probably 2) he has slowed down eating. He dosent really pay that much attention to his supers in their clear bowl (he might eat 5 in two days) unless i take them out and drop them in front of him, then hell eat about 5. But for the most part hes only been eating about 3 medium/large size crickets that have been gutloaded out their ears with fluckers gutload.So my question is was he eating that much cause he was small and was building his weight up and now that he has he is not as hungry? He seems perfectly healthy and i would even venture to say he is acting more active then usual, just eating less. As i said i ordered a scale today so i can monitor his weight more accuratley.
Housing:
A) Enclosure
- Size- 10gal.
- Type (ex. glass tank)- glass
- Type of substrate- paper towels
- Hides, how many, what kind- hot hide, cool hide, and moist hide
B) Heating
- Heat source- UTH
- Cage temps (hot side, cool side) -cool side 78 degrs. hot hide 90 degrs. just the way he likes it. When it gets up to 93 he goes in his cool hide so i keep it at 90 using a lamp dimmer
- Method of regulating heat source- lamp dimmer
- What are you using to measure your temps- ZooMed probe digital thermometer
- Do you have any lights (describe)- just natural light that comes through window
C) Cage mates- non
- How many (males, females) -non
- Describe health, or previous problems- Good as far as i can tell
Describe Diet:
A) Typical diet- crickets and supers
- What you're feeding (how often, how much)- 3 medium/large size crickets and 2-3 small size supers in a day
- How are you feeding (hand fed, left in dish, ect)- supers in bowl, crickets free rome
B) Supplements (describe how often)- Repashy all in one
- What vitamin/minerals are you using (list brands)- Repashy all in one which has vitamins and minerals
- What are you gut loading food with- Fluckers cricket drink
