Exclamation Pictus Gecko Sick

Ive had this particular juvi for about 3 weeks. The last two days his poop has been soft with a cloudy white liquid on it. He ate a huge amount of crickets the day before. Am i just being paranoid or is there something wrong with him. He seems to have no markings or anything physically wrong. No symptoms of impaction. I gave him a warm soak which he seemed to enjoy. His tail seems a slight bit smaller but it could just be me. Anyone familiar with this poop issue or am i just being paranoid?

please don't post duplicate threads.

Sounds like a normal stool + urate to me. If you're really worried, post up a photo for us to look at, but I'm pretty sure its absolutely normal.

no worries.

When you say soft, do you mean runny?

The stool itself was soft. But the liquid was obviously runny.

ok. I'd only worry if the stool itself is almost liquid, as that is usually an indicator that something is wrong, but as I say, it sounds like the poo is completely normal. They usually come out soft, and harden after a while.
