What is going on with my gecko??!!HELP!

[viperidae]

I got problems with two of my shtct here

The adult female who bred before with a male. After introducing it to a male, she has become less active and eating.eventually i separated them. After a few weeks or months, she has become even weaker and thinner. Not taking food and i hv even try force feeding her but she just vomit it out. And now, she got problem with shedding.



I produced this SHTCTB baby 2 months back. She and her sibling were eating very good until last few weeks, she has become week and not taking much food. She is currently taking only small cricket and not really interested with mealworm anymore. Another thing is, her tail never get better(thicker) even after few meal but only the body.




What is going on with them? Could it be MBD or maybe parasite(crypto)? I'm worry

one of my female is a mirror image of your first pic. She usually cage with another female and a male. I recently saw the male trying to mate with the other one, so i separate the male. She eat a couple wax worm a few week ago.. haven't since. I'm ma try the slurry soup thing tomorrow. i heard if the temp is too low, they won't eat.

What are your temps? Have you had a fecal sample analyzed by a vet?

 

[viperidae]

Temperature is around 28-30c. Unfortunately i move to somewhere which is far from my vet.

oh dear the first picture looks really bad :main_no: maybe you can mix the calcium with water and hand feed her? at least shes getting some calcium even if she's not eating.

Is that the humid hide in the first photo? How often are they pooping? 28-30c is not high enough for the warm side, it should be 34-35. Do you have a warm side and a cool side? Any suspected illness should be quarantined!!! Pencil tail is bad- very bad.

A fecal sample certainly is in order here. Raise your temps too.

The adult female is not popping now as she is not taking any food. In malaysia, we dont provide warm or cool side for our leopard gecko (Most of the keeper here i guess). Just because some may think it is warm enough for our animals and plus ,heat pad is hardy to source in Malaysia.

Anyways, how or what can i do to raise up the temperature?

maybe parasite(crypto)?

Looking at the sheer mass of old feces present, I'd say that a parasite is a pretty good candidate. Something fairly low-key can become quite virulent and dangerous if the animals are constantly exposed to their own feces, exponentially reinfecting them with any shed offspring. It is something pretty common with negligent sanitization practices.

Get a fecal and a general checkup done, immediately. There is no excuse for not having a veterinarian. If you do not have access to a vet, then you should not own the animals to begin with. If there is one a hundred miles away, then drive there and stop being irresponsible.

Start housing everything individually so that you can monitor food intake and fecal production immediately.

And clean your goddamn enclosures. Those pieces of old, filthy cardboard covered in days (weeks?) worth of feces are utterly reprehensible. Those pictures are depicting acts of animal abuse. What is wrong with those geckos... a good question with a single answer. "The owner." You are wrong with those geckos. Fix this.
