ah yeah, that's quite noticeable. I hope the vet can help you resolve it, and it's not a tumor.

what about clear pictures? and how long has this gone on? one cycle, 5 cycles...? have you seen them breeding? do they have good substrate to lay in?

what's plugging it? is it an infection? if not antibiotics won't help. is it stuck shed, salt crusties, or dried mucus? if so more gentle soaking and flushing should help.

is there any way to post...

welcome to GU!

we haven't had a lot of uroplatus activity here in some time. did you try the search function, though?

yes. if you see poop, he's eating. can you post a photo of the enclosure?

can you post a pic? I had an MBD gecko I liberated from a Petco once with a similar condition. I consulted with the two biggest crestie breeders I knew at the time as well as my herp vet. I elected...

as long as care requirements are very similar, sure.

you can probably safely go over time then. but how long is a guessing game. as always, the safest bet is new stuff.

how long have you had the supplements, and how have you stored them? (in detail)
vitamins will degrade over time like anything else, faster with exposure to moisture, heat, and light. if you got...

welcome to GU!

yeah, he's fine. just don't let him gain any, so a transition to a little more crickets and a little fewer mealworms is still a good idea.

yes, geckos can definitely get fat and a picture would be very helpful.

mealworms are like the cheeseburgers of the feeder world, even when properly dusted.

if you're worried about babies, wait until he's a subadult before getting any more.

you can find them at box pet stores and sometimes smaller pet stores. often they're wild caught and might harbor...

OK I consulted herp experts from Chicago. it's a baby Brown Anole. it's native to the Bahamas and Cuba, and is invasive in parts of the southeastern US. it's definitely not something you should...

OK, definitely not a gecko. it's a lizard. I'm not sure of the species or if it's native to Illinois, it may have hitched in on a plant. if he's native, he should absolutely be released. if he's not...

OH. that tank is just a standard 20 gallon that is set on end, a "conversion tank". you can get a 20 gallon anywhere and then just add the decorations.

hmm. 2 things:
1. mesh walls is a bad idea...

yeah. I wouldn't say to not trust your vet. there are many ways to keep reptiles. however, I personally prefer not to harvest wild bugs and not to feed every day.

I'm glad you got some meds and I...

definitely, good luck and please update when you can.

just a quick google search shows that there are several reptile shows in either KS or Missouri. if you don't get any other responses here, your best bet is really to find the biggest show you can and...

there are a lot of different types of cages that are about that size and will work for a crested. can you post a picture of what you have in mind?

it's not usually going to be solid little turds like a rodent if your gecko is well-hydrated. it's just as she said, it's like crested gecko poop. there's just more of it because the gecko is bigger.

I don't have an imgur account; can you upload the pic from another site? is there a way to set it as public?

I would remove him to quarantine.

it might be constriction from stuck shed, or...

I'd take her in. that definitely looks like mouth rot, and it's much easier to fix if you can get it early. her sinuses look like they might be a little irritated too.

also I can't tell from the...

pictures are always relevant when trying to troubleshoot problems with your gecko. if there was something about his appearance or enclosure that could be contributing to the problem we may be able to...
