Reptile & Amphibian Forums

i fed my two leopard geckos about 5 farely large crickets (the wings had begun to devolop if that gives you an idea of size) last night.
they ate about the same amount just a couple of nights ago along with some mealworms and everything appeared normal

this morning all the crickets were gone and i noticed nothing abnormal. i just went to check on them and spot clean their tank and i found what looks like a regurgitated cricket. it was in the area which they use as a toilet so is it a bad undigested stool?

the crickets were a little large so could this be the reason or is it something more seriouse?

i am really concerned that it could be the early signs of ?cryptosporidiosis? or am i just making a big deal over nothing?

they havent been eating as much as i would like recently (over the winter months) but i thought maybe it was because they had kind of tuned into the seasons a bit as they havnt lost any weight

just two nights ago the albino one shed normally and did not regurgitate the shed, so could it be just the other gecko?
should i serperate them into two plastic faunariums?

im only 13 so any simpleish info would be appriciated

thank you all very much (its times like these that make me glad i found this forum)

i just fed the gecko that did not shed recenlty a waxworm, which she has kept down, i have left them mealworms and i shall see if i find anything else in the morning.

i also plan to have a major clean of their tank tomorrow, just in case.

thanks again

Sounds like she ate too much... I wouldn't worry until it becomes a daily occurance. From there it could be alot of issues.

Urgent help... Well, I've never had a gecko regurgitate food unless it was impacted from parasites. People have reported stress induced regurgitation, but I haven't seen it myself and am somewhat skeptical.

Parasites can come from everywhere: new animals, you, food sources. If it is something like crypto, bleach won't kill it unfortunately. (Although a good tank cleaning is never bad, but can stress the animals too.)

If you have noticed any changes in personality, lethargic, or any other behaviors a trip to the vet ASAP is the only way to really tell for sure what is up. Every day is of the essence, take it from someone who helped hand feed a gecko for a month before having it put to sleep after a hidden parasite infection.

I'm guessing being so young you don't necessarily have access to getting to a vet for a "just in case" visit but if you see any differences in the behavior or eating, do all you can to get it to the vet. Good luck, we'll keep our fingers crossed.

My girl had eaten one of those large mealworms and a cricket.. (a very large meal for her then) She regurgitated it within a few minutes. I just gave her the night and she has been eating like normal ever since.
