    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Who did it come from in Orlando? Looks like it has parasites seeing the fecal. Time for a vet check! Find a local herp vet at www.arav.org.

Good luck
 
they are separated by a clear divider in the same tank ...yes the tank is heated and each gecko has its own hide..... but at first ( just for a few days we had them together) then we parted them....i just dont know.... :bawling:
 
Well first off tape a piece of paper over the divider. Then like matthew said get a fecal sample to the vet. Change that paper towel out whenever you see it messed and make sure the water is clean and fresh. Being that they were together quarantine seems a bit superfluous. It , however, can't hurt. If you wish to keep them in the same divided enclosure make sure to thouroughly clean hand between handling each one.
 
Yes, who did you buy them from. The albino is way to skinny to be being sold at a show. Do not leave the crickets on over night. They will much on the poop and IF the Leo eats the cricket it drives the parasite load it may already have into overdrive

I would replace the water with pedialyte and if it wont drink it drip it on his//her nose. Get it to a vet too....meanwhile try Marcia from Golden Gate Geckos slurry recipie to help it keep up its strength until you see a vet.

And contact the Breeder you got it from. From my understanding most reptiles carry a small amount of parasites naturally but their systems handle it, but with stress the system may not handle it and it gets out of control....stress like going to a show then a new home...but chances are, considering how skinny it already is, it was sick prior to the show....

Good luck
