I just received a new MSE from Bhb on Thursday.. her tail is already thinner than pictured... she will not eat and her stool looks like this... (with runny liquid running off her hide onto her paper towel.)

I'm thinking parasites. What do you think?

Runny liquid might just be urine. Did you just get this gecko? If you can, I would take her next stool for a fecal exam then work from there

Not all runny, urates look good but the poo is crusty and flakey with a lighter color not solid and dark brown. Can you click on the photo to see? Its blurry when I post..

If you had crickets in the enclosure, they may have been eating the poop. That's what it looks like based on what I've seen in my enclosures.
