in the opposite corner of where my gecko goes to the bathroom there was this strange stuff. im not sure what it is i was wondering if anyone else knew what it was or has seen it before. also im pretty sure that he is impacted he has lost a lot of weight and im taking him to the vet on tuesday to find out for sure. i think he may eaten one waxworm recently but the only feces that has been comeing out is the white stuff. also how do you post pictures so you can see what it looks like?

not a waxworm a mealworm

go to photo gallery, and click upload photos. just browse the one you want from your computer

here is the picture. sorry it is really bad qulaity i took it with a webcam.

I also just found out that mealworms aren't good for young leos. They have chitin in them which is a type of fiber that isn't easy to digest.

Actually, I'm going through the same thing right now. My leo was pooping only white poop for about 2 weeks. Now he's ballooned up full of gas. I had to take him to the emergency vet today to get medication. She gave me stuff for help with hairballs in cats and this other stuff with is suppose to retain water in the intestines.

I'm not sure from the picture but it may be regurge. vomit. But I can't be sure
