About your leo:
- Sex: Female
- Age & Weight: I think she's about 7 now... and I haven't weighed her in awhile. >_>
- How long have you owned your leo: 6 years
- Where was he/she obtained (ex. Pet store, breeder, wild caught, friend): Breeder. (GeckoRanch Woo!)
A) Health/History
- How often do you handle your leo: At least a couple times a week, she doesn't like being handled much.
- Is your leo acting any different today? If so how does he/she normally act which differs from now.: No, not really. She's a stubburn broad.
- Has he/she had any problems in the past, if so please describe. None that I recall.
B) Fecals
- Describe (look any different than normal): Looks normal to me.
- When was the last time he/she went: Last night I think. I just noticed there is a poop in the hot hide where they are often pooping.
C) Problem
- Please briefly describe the problem and how long it has been going on: I just finished giving her a superworm (varying up their diet a little) and I think her jaw got accidentally caught on the tongs I was using because she snapped at it extra hard. Between that and her trying to steal another super out of her cagemate's mouth as I was hand feeding her (Epic can't really catch things on her own, I think it's the enigma syndrome), Boltz snapped at Epic a bit. I think between that and maybe getting her jaw caught on the tongs, her lower jaw seems displaced somewhat. I'm worried that I may have accidentally dislocated it. She seems bothered by it some and continues to move her jaw like something is stuck in it. It's only been like 10 minutes or so, but I'm worried.
Housing:
A) Enclosure
- Size: 20g Long
- Type (ex. glass tank): Glass aquarium
- Type of substrate: Slate and paper towels
- Hides, how many, what kind: 5. A corner hot hide, 2 humid hides, a hide under their feeder bowl, a treelimb that is kinda like two in one I guess, and then a cooler humid hide on the cool side. There is also a hammock, and several other areas that are almost like hides from how I placed things.
B) Heating
- Heat source: UTH and a newly placed heat lamp because the temps weren't up to how they are supposed to be.
- Cage temps (hot side, cool side): Currently, 87.1 and 71.3. I have turned off the lamp for today. So it's probably still going down. (It's gotten a bit nippy here in Ohio.)
- Method of regulating heat source: uuuhhh.... my eyes?
- What are you using to measure your temps: a digital thermometer prob on both sides.
- Do you have any lights (describe): Just a ceramic 50w lamp.
C) Cage mates
- How many (males, females): One female that has been with her basically since I've had her. I got them maybe a month or two apart.
- Describe health, or previous problems: Just has depth perception issues, so I have to hand feed her often.
Describe Diet:
A) Typical diet
- What you're feeding (how often, how much): Lately it's been a combination of Superworms and phoenix worms every couple days or so. A few supers each. And since phoenix's are so tiny, I give them as much as they want... but normally it's like a few... Really wasn't sure how much to give them since this was the first time I've used them.
- How are you feeding (hand fed, left in dish, ect): Most of the time in a dish, but once a week or so hand feeding because Epic has issues and Boltz like to snatch it off the tongs if she isn't fed first.
B) Supplements (describe how often)
- What vitamin/minerals are you using (list brands): RepCal Calcium with Vit. D and RepCal Herptivite.
- What are you gut loading food with: Uh, the mealworms that I have, I gutload with red potatoes usually.
Any help is EXTREMELY appreciated. I've had these two for so long now I'd be devastated if I even lost one. Thank you everyone!
