I managed to get all the stuck shed. Most of his toe tips are red (my poor baby). I also managed to get a chunk out of his mouth where the infection is.

Good job! I know it sucks and it's stressful but it's gotta be done. I just wish we could tell them that and they'd understand, but I'm sure he feels better!

I talk to him when I take care of him XD Is that weird? He's moving around more tonight, which gives me hope.

As I went to check the toes on his back foot, he flew out of my hands and landed in a way that bent his back a little. He seems to be okay and is able to move everything. But I still feel horrible about letting it happen. He has moments where he relaxes and lets me touch him and others where a little touch and he goes running. I thought it was the first and let my guard down since he let me pick him up. I feel so stupid :'(

I know that was an accident, Liz. Things like this have probably happened to us all.

Just finished this new thread when I saw your posts: http://www.geckosunlimited.com/comm...76873-warning-help-prevent-tragic-deaths.html

I know, but I still feel horrible about it. I'm trying to get him better and I end up dropping him. I'm afraid of squeezing him because he's so skinny. I don't want to break anything, you know? I'll definitely read that post you made.

What did Finn land on?

Nynecho just shared the sad story of the beautiful new leo she bought a couple days ago. The leo fell about 3 feet onto a cement floor. She passed away in her sleep overnight. (That's the link.)

The carpet. It was less than a foot jump. He tried to run off afterwards, if that says anything.

I know, I read it :( It breaks my heart when someone loses a pet, especially when it's tragic. I lost two cats to cancer, but that's unrelated to the point.

+1 on Elizabeth. One of London's toes got red and raw when I had to get the last bit of shed off her but it was totally fine in about 2 days. Couldn't even tell which one it was :) Oh, and I sing to Edgar to the tune of the old beefaroni commercial. It's embarrassing so it's just between him and I! Hah!

Also, before I go to bed, I just wanted to thank everyone for their continued support. It really means a lot to me to have everyone helping me and Finn :') If he could talk, I'm sure he'd say the same.

Update #9

No bruise! And I forgot to mention he poo'd in his cool hide yesterday. It was still goopy, but it was more solid than before!

Update #10

He lost a gram, so he's now 24g. Good news though, almost all of the infection is gone and he seems to be calming down. He sat on my leg while I mixed his food.
