New Situation..

[LEOPARD1]

I am used to my adult females going off food for a week or two and have never had great reason to worry. They were outwardly healthy, defecating, etc. Just not interested in food.

My oldest and most difficult feeder stopped eating for three weeks ate many Dubias for two/three weeks and is now not feeding again. This time no defecation or urarates. She does not look at all impacted and is safeguarded from anything that could.

She is active, thermo regulateing, everything else is normal. Her "warm side ranges between 77-80 4" above ground. Ground temps are normal. Cool side is Cool.

I have never seen her drink from a dish so I mist her moist hide often so she can drink condensation and large droplets.

If she was defecating I wouldn't post but this is a new one for me.

Thanks for any help,

Do you have a warm dry hide? Only thing that popped into my mind would be she doesnt like the moist hide all the time so she spends time on the cool side causing her the lack of digestion. I remember seeing pictures of your setup and there is only 2 hides. Just a thought...

After much experimentation. I have found a dry cool hide and a warm moist hide is all thats necessary (IMO). She spends her time equally in both. All of my LG's have the same set-up's.

The other LG's are doing just fine. I only can assume she's already on E. She was having regular BM's (daily) until she stopped eating again, well looking at my spread sheets she had her last defecation three days after going off food. She's been a tricky one, I guess I was blessed to have such a difficult one though.

Found a rather large "snow white" urate, things are looking up. Hydration is key.

Now I am really confused. My Adult Female who won't poop or eat and just shed, shed again tonight 3 1/2 weeks later. I dont get it. She's soooo long with no "meat" just muscle I am wondering if she's a mutant I hope she gets all big and goofy looking. The baby picture is from Sept '14. Now I just have to wait for the entire shed to digest and try again....

They are beautiful! I just love that little one, such pretty markings!

All three of those pictures are of the same Gecko.

No way really! Are you pulling my leg? The last picture looks like such a different creature from the others! What happened to the stripes?

 

[LEOPARD1]

As they age the stripes turn into dots. Their colors change and they become a different looking Leo. I am trying to get to a point where if I see a baby/juvies coloration I can generally guess what they may look like as an adult.

Very interesting, I only have had contact with my one Leo and I got her at 6 month old. So I didn't realize there was such a change in them. Amazing to watch I would imagine.

Here she is at 8 months.....

She is a pretty girl!
