I need a little help with Ducky.

[critternerd]

So, Ducky is a leopard gecko I have had for almost half a year now, and she is not doing good. Her tail is very small,a nd she is refusing to eat. She does drink water but thats it. She pooped once, but that was last week. There are liquid stains on teh paper towle that she is on, one of teh stains is kinda red, and the rest are brownish. I have temperatures of 90 on the warm side, and areound 85 on teh cool side. Is there anything I can do to get her to eat? becasue her tail is making me very nervous :yikes:

The temp on the cool side of the enclosure should be closer to 75-78 rather than 85. That can cause stress, although it is probably not the reason for her refusal to eat.

If her tail is thin, this problem has been ongoing for some time. Can you post any pics of the gecko?

What type of food have you been giving her?

have you been using vitamin supplements?

Can you give us some more info/pictures of her enclosure? We need all the info we can get (type/size of enclosure, type of lighting, hide boxes, humidity, etc.).

I currently have Ducky in a std. 10 gallon tank, with a dry hide, made with tile and great stuff. I also have a humid hide made of a tupperware container with some paper towel inside. I am keeping it as wet as I can. I have a bowl of calcium powder, and a little boiwl of calcium and mealies. I useually feed my geckos crickets. I have put a red heat lamp on the warm side, and thewre is a flourscent bulb spreading accross the tank.

Ducky had a successful shed today!

It looks like there's egg follicles inside her. Can you get a better picture of her tummy? Pick her up from her back legs so her back arches inward and snap a couple photos.
