I went to the petshop yesterday to get some crickets and I saw a leopard gecko just laying in his cage. At first I thought she was dead. I have been there several times and seen this baby but was more active this time she was just laying there totally motionless. I sorta made friends with the owners (as I am in there so much) (Trying to convince there to take the sand out of all those cages grrr.) and I told him look that gecko looks in terrible shape. I asked him If I could have her and he gave her to me so I could see if I could bring her back to good health. She is nothing but skin and bones. Her eyes are glazed over but she still seems to be able to see.
If I am not mistaking she is a full adult. She weighs only about 20 g and is 7 in long. Even her little toes are deformed.
She is so loveable. She enjoys being held and loves chin rubs.
Here is her setup:
She is in a plastic container with plenty of ventilation
I have a heating pad under the tank for heat (90)
She will eat crickets but not near as many as she should
I do have water and calcium in bowls for her
I had hides in there for her she don’t like them I took the lids off and she went right in.
She is somewhat active more than she was at the pet shop
I have given her baby food.
I have given repta aid twice today.
As soon as I have me money I will be taking her to the vet. (I am going through some medical problems and money is really tight. They believe I may have cancer so all these doc visits are taking all my funds)
She will drink water
I have soaked her (which she hated)
She does have bowl movements
Here are some pics of her,
This is a pic of my other gecko she is a juvi is 6 in 20 grams
Any advice anyone would like to give. It will be greatly appreciated
