About 3 weeks ago I found dried blood in my leo cage. it was a spot a little larger than a quarter. Couldn't figure out what it was about so I just cleaned it up. Woke up this morning and found another spot of dried blood about the same size. Any ideas?

I would try and get the leo to a vet because like sounds like a lot for a little critter to lose...did you check its vent to see if thats where its coming from? might be an issue with that end...

I have 3 in one enclosure, so I'm not sure exactly which gecko it's from. I checked all of their vents and it doesn't appear to be the issue. A vet visit might be in order.

Any other ideas?

Hmm yeah you gotta hate when your not sure which one its from....my figured you had checked vents but i was wondering if maybe you could find a little on one of their vents, so if it was that it could be something to do with kidneys or some other related issue maybe...

I'm stumped...my gecko has a thing about hurting her tail and has had issues with stuck shed on the very end but you'd have noticed when looking it over if that was it...and you checked all the little feet? Thats just very odd....but yeah i would (if your able to) separate them and try to flag down which one it is...and in case its something weird that could be given to another one..and try and get it or them to the vet, because that just can't be good and sounds like to much blood to not be able to figure out whats going on, you know? I mean you usually if its that much its obvious whats going on..
and to not see anything doesn't sound very good :C

I hope for the best for your little guy!! Hope its something that can be fixed and a good recovery!

Yep, sounds like i'll have to talk to a vet. I was hoping someone would chime in and tell me it was just my geckos having a period. lol guess not.
