Signs of Malnutrition?

Just wondering what they would be... My middle sized guy still isn't eating... I flipped him over and his liver seemed pretty dark and his intestines don't look very big like my piglet. (should I even be able to see that?)

. . . vibing this leo to death. Leave him alone - offer him food every other day - just a few wiggly prey items at a time.

You also might want to talk with the person you purchased the leo from for some advice.

Like I've said to others - unless she came to you sick - it's probably a husbandry issue - and the biggest husbandry issue, in my opinion, is failing to leave them alone a while just to be normal. I think we worry them to death at times.

Good luck bud.

Sorry I have left them alone for a few days at a time 3 times now... I can't watch them wither up and die

OK - that's just a common problem among many people with stressed geckos.

Next thing to do is to call the person you bought it from to ask them for help . . .
