she said he looked healthy but the thin tail (compared to how an eating gecko would look)should improve with the flagyl, hopefully making him eat. i've decided to not give him food until tomorrow when i get new crickets and vitamin suppliments. hopefully this will make him eat more, but if this doesnt work i'll jst have to go back to leaving a saucer full of mealies in ther for him. even if there right in front of him he wont bat an eyelid (lol a little joke there..lol) he even sits ontop of crickets, and flinches when they touch him. also, i try to handle him every day, for about 10-15 mins at a time, usually 2-3 times a day, but he's still a bit jumpy when i stoke his back. i have to start at the tail or head and work my way down his back. is this normal or should he get used to my touch after a while..?

thanks for the feedback aswell.

i wont be getting a second opinion either, as the vet i saw is the one every pet shop i contacted recommended, even other vets recommended her lol so she has to be pretty good..
