Update with one new addition.

[jaredm3624]

Steve was my first. I thought he might be tremper, but now I think he's RW.

Amira is my second leo and is a SS.

And Yuki is our newest addition. Just got him/her yesterday. I think s/he is a patternless tremper.

There is a blueish dot on his/her stomache. Is this normal? Should I be worried about it?

My 11mos-1yr old has the spot too. No need to worry . I'm a little worried about Yuki. S/he looks like s/he is dehydrated. Get a syringe and put drops of water on her/his nose and s/he will lick it up and hopefully it will help. This is just my 2 cents .

Yeah, trying to get him/her to good health. Got him/her from the local pet chain here, so i have a little work ahead of my. I was thinking of bringing him/her to the vet to make sure there are no real badproblems.

The blue spot is the liver. Definitely consider a vet to rule out parasites. I'd try to plump up the SS a little too. Make sure to handle and feed the new guy last just in case that he does have something so that you don't spread it to the others.

Ok, thanks. Since the vets are closed today, I'l try to bring Yuki in Monday. I'll try to put a little more fat on Amira. What do you suggest? Wax worms or just more of everything?

Actually, that little black/blue spot is the gall bladder. You will notice it is sometimes more visible than other times because it fills and empties during the digestive cycle. It is very common to see this in small geckos, especially albinos. Nothing to worry about!

I sprayed the side of the tank with the water bottle, and Yuki started licking it. So I'm trying to deal with the dehydration issue. I'll continue to do that a few times a day. How can you tell about the dehydration btw?

So Yuki is just sleeping all day and won't eat. I figure that this is because of the change of location, but I'mm take it to the vet just in case.

well they are nocturnal.... but the eating prob is most likly relocation stress

 

[jaredm3624]

I feed them around 9:30 or 10pm. I finally found some meal worms, and have been feeding them to Steve and Amira, but Yuki isn't eating. Scared of crickets because they are about the same size (only tried this once) and isn't interested in tiny meal worms. I should be geting some phoenix worms on Thursday. Maybe those will do the trick. If not, then I will try some wax worms.
