Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I just started working at Petco again and yesterday was my first day back. When I went in the back room they had an albino leo that wont eat and looks like it is very dehyrated. I am going to talk to my manager to see if I can take it home. I was going to try and give it some hydralife or some electrolytes as well as some liquid calcium. I have never delt with sick leos before so any help is appriciated very much.

Thanks,

Jeremy

Hi my name is Jeremy and I am a Reptiholic. I'm here because Ive been collecting reptiles and amphibians for the past 17 years and I cant stop. Right now I've got 15 critters and am planing on adding another 2 very shortly.

I'd advise against taking it home because if it has parasites or a disease it could spread to your collection.
I would recommend maybe trying to treat it at work, maybe stay an extra 15-30 minutes after close or something. It is great that you want to help it, but I'd be worried about my own collection as well.
hope this helps

The following sentence is true.
The above sentence is false.

4.4 Leopard Geckos
1.0 Marbled Gecko
1.1 Red Eared Sliders
0.2 Siamese Mice

Pedialyte and turkey or meat baby food should work. Has the leo been seen by a vet? It probably has parasites and isn't going to start eating without treatment, most likely.
