ill leopard gecko.. pics

[hayleymason]

i bought a leopard gecko back in march time, he was never well and unfortunately died 3 months later.
no idea what was wrong? i was told to keep his tank at an average of 70/80f, sprayed his tank, fed him (he never ever ate since i had him) tried taking him to the vets who gave me glucose powder and told me to mix it with water for him, bought a vitamin supplement for him, ran out of ideas!

do you reckon it could have been ill when i bought it?
he was also very thin and transparent

Just a baby ! Oh my,and too thin by half ! I tend to keep my gecko vivs a tad bit warmer for the babies, around 85*, with a 40% humidity. Something just might have been wrong from the hatching on. Without a Necropsy being done, who knows.

Sadly I think that the breeder may have sold you an ill baby. So sorry to hear that!
Do you plan on finding another some time in the future ?
