Sores on my gecko

[andrewl212]

Hello, My name is Andy and I have a 3 year old Leo Gecko. I just noticed today that she has these sores on her sides just above both of her rear legs. I gave her a bath in some warm water for about 10 minutes and put some neosporin on the sores, but I'm pretty worried about what exactly it is. I feed her live, large crickets, as well as this nuetrient powder stuff for geckos. I was actually giving her the powder stuff when I noticed the sores. I have pictures of her sores, if anyone wishes to see what it is, and maybe can give me an idea of what I am dealing with here. I love my Leo, and I'm very worried about her right now. If anyone can help me I would really, really appreciate it. Thanks, Andy

Hey there Andy... it could be possible that if you leave the crickets in the tank with her to eat at will they could be nibbling on her creating the sores. It also could be something in her tank irritating her or possibly a skin parasite or maybe your she is a he and you're just seeing the pores on the back of the legs that males get. Pictures would def help in trying to get assistance pointing you in the right direction on this one.

Lastly if you could take a second to fill out our care questionaire found in the health section as a sticky it would greatly help the membership in making sure you don't have any husbandry issues that could be causing or adding to the problems.

Thanks
