Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Opinion On Panacur!!
Ok guys what do we think of panacur? I have a gecko that is eating fine and very active but has loose stool( with some undigested parts in it). Everything in the tank is fine, heat, water, etc. I heard from many that panacur twice a year can help prevent disease greatly. Any ideas? Or what methods are used out there?

How is his/her tail looking? Still nice and plump? How long has the gecko had loose stools?
Panacur is pretty safe as far as its usage, but you may want to have a fecal done to rule out other types of parasitic infections that panacur doesn't treat.

I have used Panacur on tortoises with no bad effects at all. It seems to be very safe for them. I believe Ron Tremper's new book outlines how to use it on the leopard geckos.

Pat,
Sometimes a new arrival will have loose stool for a few days. The stress causes the animal to have stool that is on the runny side. If it hasn't firmed up or if it looks discolored yellowish/green tint you should get a fecal done. Also, if you are changing them to a different food item they will sometimes display runny stools. The big thing is being able to tell a stress related runny stool from a discolored loose stool that is a warning of an underlying problem. You really need to watch them as the two sometimes are hard to tell apart. Good luck

It can most easily be found at any feed store that sells supplies for livestock and horses. It is a paste packaged for use in horses but you can dilute it with water to get a more appropriate concentration.
Panacur is the trade name for fenbendazole.
Roger Klingenberg has an excellent book out, Understanding Reptile Parasites.
It is inexpensive too. I only paid $7 for mine.

when the vet gave it to me for my dog, it was in powdered form. I'm guessing that is the best way to use in reptiles.

It comes in a paste and would be easier than a powder to use i think .
Just have to make a lower concentration with the horse-paste , it is EXACTLY the same meds.
Some people do use it once or twice a year .
But its better to have fecals to see what it actually is IMO
