Sick Leopard

xjessicax Oct 29, 2003 04:03 PM

My Leopard Gecko has lost a lot of weight and his tail has shriveled up....I believe he's still eating.....What could be wrong? Besides the temperature, the sand, and the water.....

besides the temp, sand, and water?

What IS the temp, and substrate? How old is it? What do you feed it?

Leos wont eat/digest that much if its cold. Also, Impacted leos wont eat either. If your using sand as substrate, remove it, and use paper towels. Get a fecal done at the vet, and keep the temps warm. Try feeding baby food too. You need to give us specs of the tank, inorder to find out whats wrong.
