Once again, another great post.

I have one thing to add that I forgot about. In one of your pictures you had the blizzard with another leo. Please, if you care at all about this one, take it to the vet, at least a fecal. If it is your friends leo, tell him to take it to the vet. For all you know this leo could have given the blizzard it's illness. The stress after shipping could have made the blizzard more susceptible, therefore causing him to show symptoms before the other one.

Besides trying to give it crickets, did you try anything else with the blizzard (ie. force feeding)? They can become very dehydrated as well, which is the cause of death in many leos. If this ever happens again, a little bit a baby food and calcium powder on the lips can do a world of good.
