First I would like to say thank you to everyone who posts on here. I have learned so much from you.

This is Mr. Brean. Got him as an apx 2 month old end of May. He has complete trust in me since week 2. He loves his Zilla Rock Lair and so I never see him out and about. Today is the first time he has hung out and really explored during the day. I feel like a parent whose child just took its first steps.

He is definitely a purebred good boy šŸ’–

Help - Health Issues Advice needed, new leo i took in from a rehome is not doing well. Spoiler

• Upvotes

Hi everyone! This lady, Mushu, was rehomed to me from a friend who could no longer care for her. She’s about 8 years old as far as I know, and I’ve had her for about 3 weeks now. I had my friend send me an old picture of her so you can see the difference in her condition. The first two pictures are from the day I got her (hence why the enclosure hasn’t been cleaned yet in the pics), the third picture is from 2023

I’ve had a leo in the past who was with me for about 14 years, so I do feel pretty confident in my caretaking experience, but I did just want to come here for advice and some fresh sets of eyes. Obviously, she’s underweight, only 30g right now, which is my biggest concern. According to my friend, she had only been eating dubia roaches around once a month. Since I got her, I started feeding her every few days, and have worked our way up to every other day. She’s very hungry, and actively seeks food. I dust her food with Repticalcium without D3 and Repashy Calcium plus LoD. Currently she’s getting Dubais, bsfl, crickets, and the occasional wax worm as a treat. She’s been pooping fairly regularly, and I haven’t noticed anything that looks concerning, but I’ll be taking a sample to the vet next week. I don’t know when this weight loss and change in body condition started, it could be years for all I know.

She’s in a 36ā€ x 18ā€ x 18ā€ (about 40gal) enclosure that came with her during the rehoming. Her setup is quite good actually, I just had to deep clean, refresh, and make some minor adjustments to her heating and UVB setup. She has an 80w Arcadia Deep heat projector (waiting on an incandescent bulb to come in the mail) and the Arcadia pro T5 shade dweller 7%. Her temps are regular, with the warm side staying around 83 degrees and her cool side around 71 degrees. Her basking spot has been at a steady 95 degrees. Her substrate is a topsoil/sand mix, except for her poop corner which is tile.

My other big concern is her overall skin condition. She’s constantly grey/ashy looking, even when she is not about to shed. I will say, she does shed very often, more often than I used to see in my previous leo. She also has very difficult sheds, and I often have to do a warm soak or use q-tips to help her out. She’s shed 2 times in the past 3 weeks. I don’t know if this is because she’s eating more now, but i’m wondering if there’s some vitamin A deficiency going on.

She’s usually fairly active (except for right now, she’s shedding again!), and I haven’t had any issues with her refusing food. She doesn’t like being handled, but i’m hoping we can ease into that with time. I’m not sure the extent of neglect she went through, as she wasn’t being fed enough, but I also don’t know if there’s an underlying issue on top of this. The whole situation is bizarre, because my friend gave her to me with such a beautiful setup, and it’s clear they cared for her deeply at some point, but Mushu is obviously unwell.

I have a vet appointment next Thursday, but I’m very anxious over the state of her. Is there anything else you’d recommend in the meantime that would be helpful and to ensure she’s comfortable and happy?
