genetics?

It could be crypto but you can not tell that from the spot on it stomach...... Any of the various parasites can cause that leo to loose weight to the point where you will see that..... If it is crypto a regular fecal will do you no good anyway....... But any of the other parasites can be found and treated faily easily...... I do not believe for one second that your vet will not do a fecal check on an animal he or she has not seen...... I have been dealing with reptile vets for years and not one has ever told me they can not do a fecal on an animal they never saw...... Most vets do not see venomous snakes but will do a fecal for me no problem if my regular vet is out of town...... Infact all of my new arrivals get a fecal done without going to a vet...... These are all just lame excuses if you ask me....... At one time I had no job while keeping reptiles and I still managed to get them to a vet if needed...... If you are buying a house you must have some sort of budget set right???? Well if you take 25 bucks from each budget, you can afford a vet visit...... Take that leo to a vet because if it is not crypto. you can fix the problem...... Even if it is crypto there is a new drug out that erradicated the crypto parasite in humans but works just as well in reptiles....... But I guess what I am saying is going in one ear and out the other....... You are going to let that one die and you will just go out and buy a hyglow or a hybino for 10 times what a vet visit will cost you......
