My gecko got sick in November and was vomiting. The vet could not find a problem other than temps, so I got a new over the tank heater but she still wouldn't eat. She went 4+ weeks and lost 25 grams. Luckily she was quite chunky before she got sick with a big fat tail, so it was enough to keep...
Thank you. I've read a lot of articles which is probably why I'm finding it a bit confusing. But I guess what I should be taking from all of the reading is that it is likely the time of year causing her changes in behavior, and I will try not to worry as long as she stays in good chunky health...
Yeah, I had never heard of brumation until I starting looking into why she could be acting like this. I'm a bit confused about it to be honest.
But I have been giving her around 10 hours of light, shut it off from 10pm-8am-ish. Her warm side is about 93 with an under heater. Her cool side is...
Hey all,
It's been a while. As it says above, back in December our gecko was vomiting and we had her to the vet, all was fine, we increased the heat in her tank and she stopped vomiting. She ate some mealworms afterwards a couple of times. However, for the past few weeks she absolutely refuses...
Mine is spoiled rotten and will also only tong feed. LOL Will NOT eat worms left in the terrarium in any way, bowl or not. And if they get loose, they irritate her big time She's a little diva, but we adore her. She wasn't feeling well last month but she is much better now, but she is in a...
UPDATE:
She pooed! Yay! So I got it fresh within an hour and stored it and am bringing it in for testing just to be sure. She has not gagged and has kept down seven individual worms over the course of 24 hours with no vomiting. I'm nervous to give her any more than one at a time every few hours...
Over the course of 10 hours, she kept 3 worms down and when I woke up this morning she was standing in her water dish drinking. So I'm guardedly optimistic and hoping that gets a poop going!
UPDATE:
Took her to the vet today. Was an hour drive but she was a champ. The vet was very nice. She said basically she looks in great health and all visually seems fine. Did xrays and no egg bound or blockages. She's a good weight (76g), not dehydrated. We have done everything well with her...
Yes, sorry, the UTH is set at 90 and that's where her warm hide is. The thermometer near the top of the tank on that end reads 82 and the dark/cool side at the back (her poop area) thermometer reads 78 at the moment. We have a light on top but it doesn't shine right on the warm hide. We cover...
Thank you. Our only local exotic vet isn't taking new patients. So the next closest one is over an hour away but we'll go tomorrow. She hasn't pooped in a couple of days, but I'm really hoping overnight she will and I will keep it and store it in the fridge to take with me!
Hi guys,
I'm super scared now. Little Lovey the leopard has thrown up her mealworms three times in two weeks. The first time, she had eaten 10 and was just woofing them down so we thought maybe she had eaten too fast. She's otherwise acting normal. Her next feeds were fine and then about 8 days...

Ok, I'm freaking out. I think there are spots of blood around the geckos poo this morning. (Pic attached) She hadn't pooed in 3 days, and the one this morning is obviously large. Could they get ripped or torn vents from hard stools?!?! She is active, eating great, sheds no problem, good colour...
Thank you! It's so cute when she sees me and comes running out every morning and then she looks right at the ground to see if I've dropped any
She even knows the difference between my son and I. He takes her out on zoomies and I am the cleaner/food lady. Haha! They are smarter than people think!
