I REALLY need to know about how much it would cost to go to a vet with an impacted gecko...My parents say around $200, but is that even true?? I really hope not...Any advice??

I've never had to deal with an impacted gecko before. Your best bet to find out how much it is, is to call your Vet, or to call around and get quotes from multiple reptile vets.

I don't even have a vet, which is the problem. But thanks for the advice.

If your gecko truly is impacted, you need to get it to the vet ASAP. If the impaction was not caught early enough (which is very hard, since there are few outward symptoms early on), the best and really only treatment to save the gex life is surgery. I've never had to deal with a serious impaction myself, so I really don't know what you are looking at pricewise, but surgery is never cheap, and prob even less so with exotics. Sorry!

Look in the phone book for Vets, call around and see which Reptile vet they would recomend.
