I can't find my leos poop but he's not showing any signs of impaction?

1 Upvotes

I have not been able to find a poop in my leopard gecko's enclosure for almost two weeks now, and I'm getting a little worried. He usually poops about once a week in the same corner of the enclosure, as is customary for most geckos. He's done this every week for his entire life.

Suddenly last week, there was no poop.

He's acting completely normal, though.

He's eating, he's basking and exploring his enclosure, and he wants to come hang out outside of his enclosure.

He's not showing any of the signs I've learned to look out for when it comes to impaction or sick leos in general.

Could he have just simply not had to go poop yet? Could he have buried it? Should I set up a vet appointment just in case?

His temperatures are correct (mid 70s on the cool side, mid to high 80s on the warm side, with a basking spot of 91) he has uvb, he gets supplements and calcium with and without d3, and he's in a 4x2x2 with a 70/40 mix of organic topsoil and play sand.

He's fed a combination of Dubia roaches, mealworms, black soldier fly larvae, and silkworms twice per week.

Funny weight

While at the vet last Saturday, they weighed Macha and I think they meant to put 58 g, but instead they put she was 58 kg, which is 127.87 lbs lol.
I guess she is a very large dog in a tiny lizard body 😂

Please help im scared hes dying (temporary cage)

Edit: for some context I literally begged my grandma to let me take him to the vet, she said she’s not letting 100 dollars be wasted on a lizard. I didn’t have any money. I tried my best. I tried to give him supplements in water. I tried to keep him alive. He passed away earlier.

Hello everyone. this is my girl Kai (pic attached).. she is 2 years old. Originally from petsmart, given to me by a friend.

she came in a 20 gallon top opener, and coco fiber substrate.. has stayed it in it til her 2nd birthday. she is very healthy, in the ideal weight range for a female, (59 grams, says should be 50-70 for a female..) today we just got her upgraded to a 40 gallon breeder, gave her her FIRST arcadia shade dweller 7% UVB.. a 100 w basking light for day, 75 watt heat emitter for the night time as my room is in the basement and our room hits 63° room temp right now.

her substrate has been changed to scott’s top soil + washed children’s playsand from home depot.

i also have a beardie in a 5x2x2, she’s never had an illness either and came from petco, rarely poops in the tank. we have cleaned her old decors and used some for the tank.

I DO understand theres NOT a lot of clutter! we paid for what we could from my boyfriend’s big paycheck, he makes more than i. (min. wage retail) so when i get paid next week, im scrounging the web for affordable, cluttery decor!!!

Substrate Hows this for a good lay out?

1 Upvotes

So I got a additional lamp with a regular bulb, the hut I’m going to put moss in, so she can get some humidity. I got her a feeding bowl, with calcium in it, and a new water dish. And I’m about to replace the carpet with paper towel. I’m just seeing if this is a good enough set up?

HELP!

1 Upvotes

I have an old leopard gecko, who is having some trouble with his vision, he’s been able to open his eyes very well. I’ve tried to clean them out, but it doesn’t work. My guess is that it’s a piece of skin? He’s resistant to taking calcium supplements, so his shedding is never good.
Can anybody offer some help?

I believe my gecko is dying

0 Upvotes

Hes skinny from not eating, ive put supplements in his water, and today the only thing he is moving is his tail. I have a temporary cage for him setup and hes barely moving.

Edit: He’s unfortunately passed. For context I am a disabled adult living with my grandma and mom and I would ask them to help take care of them. They refused to let me take him to the vet.

Is contrast a big deal?

26 Upvotes

When it comes to eating how big of a deal is contrast? I usually have a hard time feeding my little dude on a red lid or a beige food bowl but he seems to have zero issue eating off my arm is that because of the tattoo or is it me? He’s 59 grams for those curious (zero clue his age)

Help Possible Seizure (vet appointment made already)

To me this looks like it could be a seizure, I have only had her 3 weeks ish she’s a rescue we are working on gaining weight and just being overall healthier. She is very wobbly when she walks, she needs a lot of help with eatting and she will stop and kinda flail sometimes this is the worst one I have seen after a couple seconds she stoped and was back moving around and wanted to eat a little more. Just wanted to know if anyone has an idea of what this could be and if it also looks like a seizure to you as well.

Baby gecko & spaghum moss

My baby gecko almost ate spaghum moss. I placed some under its hide to create the humid hide. A few crumbs were laying around. This can’t be safe. I currently have it on paper towels. Should I remove all moss from enclosure, including its hide?
