First of all I just want to say that I hardly know anything about leos, so if I saw something stupid, sorry! Ok, my friend got 1 leo. She doesn't know the age when she got it, but she's had it for about 3 1/2 months. She has a 75 watt bulb, it gets about 85-90 degrees in the cage during the day on the warm end. She feeds it mealworms. Recentely she talked to a breeder and he said that light stresses them out, so she got a heat pad instead and took the light off (I know the dangers of heat pads, with many lizards myself, we made sure it couldn't burn itself) she didnt like it so she went back to a 75 watt bulb. But currentely, her leo has barely eaten or pooed, he eats about 2 mealworms a day. She has him on papertowels and she has a good basking spot. She doesn't have a UVB bulb. Does anyone have an ideas? Other than parasites. I'm going over to look at it, is there annything I should look for? Thank you soo much!!!
