its seams that i have been having problems with my geckos and here is my question hopefully last one.I have a female that is not losing weight put not gaining weight.She is 40 grams and tail is skinny.I have noticed today her poop is watery but i am not sure if this is because she hasn't ate in a while and yesterday she ate waxworms or because she may have parasites i am going to the vet in the next couple of days to bring in some fecal for a fecal test on another gecko,should i bring in a sample of her fecal if i can?
-Thanks

It seems easy enough to do that. They may charge for another fecal, but if they're doing one they can do two.

When I took a fecal to the vet I put a piece of platic wrap down where my gecko usually poops and make sure to keep an eye on when she poop so I could get it while it was fresh. Then I put it in a ziploc and put it in the refrigerator until it was time to go to the vet. That worked for me.

My vet always tell me to put the fresh poop in an air tight container and in the fridge; they had to look at it within 24 hrs, otherwise the sample is not reliable.
