    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....

I know this is probably a dumb question, but I am curious as to exactly how fecal exams for leopard geckos are handled. Is it simply a matter of making a slide up and looking for signs of parasite eggs or other indicators? Are dyes used? The reason I ask is that since I am helping with several rescues, and I'm trying to get a small mom & pop pet shop to learn how to care properly for the reptiles they carry, I may need to check on a fairly large number of these guys. I know fecals aren't terribly expensive compared to other vet care, butthey are so vital and they will ad up (at around $30 per test)
Is there any way to set up at least a preliminary test at home, and then follow up with the vet for anything suspicious? It would be so handy to be able to just do a fecal test on all of them periodically to catch any problems early.
I could be way off base as to the complexity of how they are done... but I guess it doesn't hurt to ask!

Do any of you with your multiples of leos do this?
