What is this? Barf?

[Bling_my_leo]

Okay, so I went in to cheak on Bling. And their I saw a darkish brown/black really really smelly item in his cage. It smelled like a blue tongue skink poo (if you know what that smells like). It looked really nasty and smelly. What could of that been? Was it barf or poo? It sure didn't look like his reagular poo. His diet has not changed, crickets all the way.

What should I do?

Thank you.

Anyone want to answer? I am worried about Bling.... If it helps Bling is around 9 months old.

All i know is my geckos poo all looks like brown/black and white.
So I am assuming if it is poo it isn't good.
Other than that I have no clue

Okay, thank you. It just it was really gooey (sp?) like and squshy. It was not shaped like his normal poo either. It was really nasty. I'll watch him and see if this happens again...

Thank you Euphoric.

Also if it was throw up I think you would have particles in it...

Okay. I didn't really look through thepoo/throw up. That'd be nasty. I'll keep a eye on him, and see what happens.

Thank you.

If he's regurgitating it'll look like the food he just ate. My gecko is having a similar problem and I took him to the vet today to have him checked out. If he's throwing up, change his feeding schedule: one cricket a day, every day until he does better. I don't know what to tell you if it's poop though. It sounds like thats the more likely option here. Keep an eye on him for the next few days and see if it happens again. If it does, a vet visit might be in order. If not, then it might have just been an issue with that batch of crickets.

Hope that helps!

Thanks,

He is back to his old self again. I think it was just poop. But it spelled worsh than what it usally smells like and looked diffirent.

He is fine now.
