Well lets get back to the orininal question about problems:
The way I see it your leo had loose stools, ok this could be:
Coccidia
Pinworm
Roundworm
Fungal infection
Stress
Diet
Improper heat
Crypto
etc
Well thats quite a list, no dont you think you should have one a fecal since 80% of those listed could have been ruled out?
As far as feeding leos fish, wow, not gonna comment. But what i will comment is your attitude and lake of responsibility to these animals. It is appauling how a newbie comes here for info,which we are happy to give, and when the opinions(or facts) are given you act like a 2 year old. Now come on, if you ever want to gain any kind of respect in this hobby you need to take other opinions into consideration and learn to co-exist with other breeders and learn from there experience.
My advice is to never breed these leos(or any other reptile) until you know how to take responsibility and use a VET.
Like a great women once said(marcia) IF YOU CANT AFFORD THE VET YOU CAN AFFORD THE PET.
Wow Pat, that was amazing........for a 7th grade, illiterate immigrant who just picked up an English translator dictionary an hour ago. I've been called out for some of my misspellings but that truly was amazing. Not only can you not spell, your grammar and comprehension are just way off the charts, and you misquote in capital letters. If you want to be seen, Pat, be seen well, don’t embarrass yourself like this.
I was not asking about the lizards with “loose stools,” those lizards are gone because they were too young and I wanted older and better morphs. Thank you though, you are the 2nd person to semi-answer my ORIGINAL question of what problems Leopard Geckos face.
My “attitude” and “lake of responsibility” (I think you mean “lack,” there little buddy) is not to be judged by YOU or anyone else here in this forum. The lizards are still alive, so I must be doing SOMETHING right (feeding, cleaning, watering) and my attitude is for people who have no concrete evidence that lizards can not eat fish, when I have concrete evidence that they can. My question a few months ago was asking if anyone else did this and if anyone knew any FACTS about it, not speculation. Never mind that though, that was brought up by two…….hmm, how should I phrase this…….annoying middle-aged women who just like to mix around with old business and start trouble (when you say “women” you are talking in the plural form, meaning more than one, you meant “woman” meaning one woman who you were quoting but….didn’t quote right).
Other people’s opinions on matters are irrelevant, all I ever wanted were facts. Co-existing with other people is also something I don’t have to do, especially people of your likes who can’t put together a proper sentence to save their life, or with people such as the two WOMEN I spoke of before, they are the kinds who I like to spit on and make fun of. Let them talk though, its all they can really do.
I have a male, along with a few females all of breeding age. I will be breeding them very soon, and there is nothing you, the pesky middle-aged duo, or anyone can do to stop me! I almost feel an evil laugh coming on, but seriously, these are lizards we are talking about, not worth an evil laugh, not worth all this bickering, I just had a question that no one seems to be able to answer or share from their own “experience,” so I will have to try unorthodox methods in my experiments with this species. Show me the data, and I will not need to do things against what has already been proven. Not that I am doing anything like that now, I’m playing by the “rules” with this batch but when I have a question no one can answer, I will do whatever it takes to get that answer even if everyone tells me I’m wrong because without proof, you’ve got jack, Pat.
I hope that didn’t confuse you too much.
tsk tsk, is this the best you have to offer, O' Great Reptile Keeper?
