Picked up a male phant from another local pet store except this one had as much as 3 layers of shedded skin on it! Its hands looked like mittens and the gecko itself looked like a mummy. Anyways I bought it because I did not have a male and he was active and otherwise fat so I figured I would clean him up. The store was terrible and obviously didnt have a clue what to do with it. Anyways after soaking his skin and removing almost all of it he is looking much better. A friend suggested I grab Reptile Xtra Anti-Parasite Meal to make sure he has nothing. Is this medication safe for leaf tails or can anyone suggest a better product? There didnt look to be any other choices. Also I will throw up a before and after picture of him soon.
Thanks
Ben

Dont worry about treating him. It is not necessary. It is not needed, especially with the smaller species. Give him water with the eyedropper during the day...a couple drops on his snout. Do not overfeed him, especially if he is dehydrated...he will end up regurgitating the food after a day or so. Only feed him one small cricket a night...nothing more.
