i just got binks about a week ago and her poop is runny, sometimes green and very smelly (smells just like infant poop). she also doesnt get out of hiding (except when she has to poop or drink or get calcium. i house her in an 8 gal rubbermaid for now because the dispatch with the terrarium is really slow. i also have a baby brother who always screams at her. i feed her mealworms every two days. and she also poops every two days. her enclosure dont have any heat or lighting because all local leo breeders say i dont need one. she doesnt seem lethargic even in her hide and she also has an excellent appetite (even when shedding).

I'd get a fecal done to rule out parasites

 

[BlizzardR4PT0R]

Get one of these, once you've got the sample you mail it

A fecal for a reptile is done the same as a dog or cat. The vet should be able to calculate a dewormer dose. What are your temps that you don't need supplemental heat?

 

[the funky gecko]

you NEED a heat source. unless your house is 89-93 degrees you need a heat lamp. when there is not enough heat they don't poop right. oh and feed him/her every other day not every two days.

not a heat lamp, they dont bask. They get heat from their bellies. You will need a under tank heater with a thermostat.

around 30-35celsius

 

[kholtme]

Is that the ground temp in his tank or the air temp?

 

[Hilde]

You're in Malaysia, so there shouldn't be any need for supplemental heat. Your average over the year is warm enough during the day, and nighttime drops are still well within the recommended range. Even if there's a cold wave passing through, a few days of cooler temperatures won't hurt your leopard. Wild ones get way bigger temperature swings.

Poops can sometimes be runny if they're adjusting to a diet switch. As for smelly, well poops are only smelly when they're fresh and as leo poop usually dries out overnight, that shouldn't be much of a concern.

As for your screaming baby bro. No worries, my neighbors were cracking fireworks like crazy last new year and my leos don t seem bothered. They were out just lying their bellies and/or eating their nighttime worms. So unless your baby bro screams with a baritone or a low bass sound, that's no problem for them
