Impaction

So I had a Leo with an impaction recently. Weird thing is its not a substrate impaction. I do believe it is from super worms. I don't normally feed super worms to my lizards but I bought a few dozen just trying to add some variety to the crickets, roaches, and silkworms. It happened right after feeding the supers to the leopards. The gecko affected is about 6 months old and 49 grams. She has been taken care of and is fine now.

So anyone else have this issue with super worms? Just curious

Tried feeding once and my Leo ran into her hide- funny thing, the person who gave her to me said that is *all*she ate (odd don't you think) :0. Glad your Leo is OK now.

Glad to hear that your young gecko is fine now. This is not weird at all. Mealworms are known to cause impactions in leopard geckos. Click: http://www.geckosunlimited.com/comm...s/41492-feeding-mealworms-leopard-geckos.html
