un my geckos skin ther looks leika blueish blotch neer his hind leg is taht normal and also i have a gecko who just started 2 eat mealies and ate abotu 40 in liek 3 days wich is pretty good but i saw his poop and ther is liek mealworm shell in it does this meen taht tehyre 2 big for him 2 digest properly or duz the gecko have to get used 2 eatign mealworms its all regular poop up until now

I don't know what the blue spot is,maybe you could post a pic so someone can help?40 mealies in 3 days is ok,leos usually won't over eat.Pieces of mealy shell in the poop is normal.

If the blue spot is on the belly side, and if yur gecko is still young, it is most likely its spleen. As the gecko grows,t he skin thickens and u cant see it anymore.

Actually, you can see the spleen in adult leos - not always, but you can. Especially if it's an albino or patternless. You're most likely seeing the spleen.

As for the mealworm shells in the feces.. It makes me think of having to change my daughter's poopy diapers after she's eaten a WHOLE lot of Corn. What do YOU think I see in there?
