Hello. My little Leopard Gecko Gexie was caught breathing funny last night. Earlier in the day I had heard what sounded like birds right in my house, not knowing what it was I figured maybe it was and blew it off. Then later at about 5:00 this morning my Gexie was about to shed we had noticed and I picked him up and held him. It sounds like he was having breathing problems. Not a wheezing though, just a cracking through his ear holes that sounded like birds to me! Hes not breathing like this all the time either, just certain small spans of breathing like this. Then he goes back to normal. He just had a perfect shed. He eats good, all poops are normal and hes kept between 75 to 78. I put some Flukers all Reptiles vitamins in his water last night, and am running a humidifier in the room hes in now. Has anybody ever had this problem, any suggestions??? Thank You!
Ok, Thank You! I haven't had heat all summer and have kept my apartment at what I posted. It used to be higher then that until I got my Rats. Gexie is a Juvi. I am selling my piece of crap car that doesn't run anymore to a Junkyard and am getting two hundred for it so they will all have under tank heating pads within the week. I am SO happy about that!! Right now he is on a human heating pad when we are home. Question about the heating though. What exactly do I have to buy for him??? If I get an undetank heating pad is anything else neccessary is what I'm asking?? Exp:Basking lights, anything else. As for the Vet I checked into that before I posted this morning. I am still looking. Gggrrrrrrrrr! I just have SO much going on right now. Well, I hope everything gets better. Is there anything else I can do for him before the Vet???? I just feed him two wax worms tonite. Hes got the heat for now. He poops and eats and sheds perfect. I am trying to be preventive of anything getting worse. Thank You guys SO much for helping me out! I really appreciate Gexie means a lot to me.
