Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I know you guys don't like me much around here but if anyone cares just thought I would update (feel free to throw positive suggestions)

My tiny patternless leo is now officially a pig. He now goes to the bathroom regularly and his tail is definitly fatter than a few days ago.

My medium sized leo still isn't eating, but he is looking better with the help of Golden Gates Geckos liquid food, which he actually seems to like. I now wait a couple days between feeding it to him to try and get him to eat regular food. He did that half eating thing again last night, he simply crushed a mealworm to death and didn't eat it... May have to get some smaller ones for him. He isn't acting/looking unhealty or anything, so I'll assume the best

My big leo had a bowel movement today, so he is looking up... He does eat crickets which I should have more of tomorrow. He had a kinda bad shed today and hopefully he will get the rest off tomorrow... (What are the things I should do If he doesn't get it off in a few days?)

I had an incident with an online feeder shop which caused me to lose about $70 dollars so I don't think I can afford a vet again sadly.

Hey dude, dont put yourself on such a guilt trip, nobody hates you here, heck..only peolpe i and im am sure some others dont like are newbies who think they know everything there is to know...your not one of those people ...so dont worry about it, im glad to hear the leo is piggin out..and glad to hear that Marcia's recipe(sp) helped a bit i hope all your leos do good and have a long life with you, you seen to be taking good care of them so far
keep us posted

Sounds great! Looks like they are coming along. If you have problems with the shed, just get a plastic shoebox and fill it with warm water. Only fill the water level to the leo's belly. Stick the leo in and give it a bath. You might have to gently hold it there. If there is shed on the back or on top of the head you may have to moisten it with your fingers. If shed on the toes gets complicated use a Q-tip and gently rub the area, if it fails to come off soak longer and try again.
