leo with skinny tail

sallyjohn Jun 16, 2009 10:45 AM

I have 2 female 1.5 years old that have very skinny tails they do eat but not as much as they used too.they were kept in a 55 gallon tank with the warm side was 90 degrees.I moved them to there own 20 gallon tank away from my 3 other females and one male.After they laid eggs this happened.anyone know what could possibly be wrong with them?My other gecko's are ok with nice thick tails even after laying eggs.They were both 58 and61 grams before egg laying.there tails are like the size of a #2 pencil.Thanks for any input.

Keep providing food (variety is key, they get bored rather quickly), maintain calcium intake. And you shouldn't do this often, but soak them in a cool bath to make sure they are completely hydrated.

Your gecko looks too thin. You should feed them more, and if they don't have any intrest in eating, consult a vet.
