So I separated them but now I think added more stress to mango because of the new tank and interior. Also I think mango has a eye deformity, I will post a picture in a little bit.
Time to sell?

By all means, good luck!
There have been a few threads in the past few days involving leo's regurgitating. I haven't experienced this myself, but I hope it isn't something about the change of seasons and the predictions of such a terrible winter ahead!

Mango ate 6 worms at the same time or 6 worms in all?So the past couple days mango ate 6 worms but puke up two
Are her enclosure temps right on the mark?
Can you bring a fecal sample along, at least from Mango?

How did these leos do at the vet's?

Ok sorry I didn't keep you informed the past week. So the mealworms were force fed, but that Thursday night a exotic vet teacher came over and said to get some crickets and see if she would eat them. The next day we got some and she ate 4 crickets with calcium and d3! So yesterday I gave the geckos over to the exotic vet (she is a good friend) and so they aren't mine anymore. I was going to take them to the vet Wednesday because the vet was out of town for the week so I wouldn't be able to take them to him until Tuesday. I thought mango might not make it so we called the our friend (the exotic vet) to come over. Well now the leos are in better hands, I will know how their doing this Sunday. If you want I can post whats going on with them this Sunday.

If you could follow up that would be great! You never know who is dealing with the same problem, and everything that is done, right or wrong, contributes to the knowledge base here.
Thank you!
Todd

Well you guys asked for updates on mango so here it is. The vets husband was sick today so she wasn't there for me to ask. So that was the update:?. Guess it happens to the best of us...

@ The Funky Gecko: THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Thanks for helping these two. They obviously need you.
I would try to get more weight on the one before you consider selling. I'd like to see that tail nice and fat first!
Keep us updated on the smaller one's progress. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for his health to return quickly. Definitely take him to a vet to test for worms. If possible take a fecal sample with you. I know it sounds gross, but take a recent poo and put it in a Ziploc baggie and freeze it. Then pull it and take it with you to the vet. This will guarantee a "fresh" sample for the vet to look for parasites.

Agreed, but please, don't ever freeze the poo sample.
Freezing it will most likely change the composition and kill some of the possible parasites or bacteria in it, and the vet will not be able to detect them afterwards.
Keep it cool and moist, but never freeze it.

I didn't freeze them I put them in the fridge (45°-52°) too hibernate the bacteria. Oh and Yoshi's Mom thanks but they aren't in my care any more, I gave them to my friend who is a exotic vet. She knows what to do now. She will be giving me updates on them every Sunday to let me know how their doing. Thank you everyone for all the wonderful comments.

Lol sorry but Your not a certified vet^. Until the geckos are taken to the vet & given a proper diagnosis then further action will be taken. Till then these are all assumptions. Smh

Lol, I'm not a certiified vet. I'm a teenager. Btw this thread is old and the are (sadly) dead. They were put under by a certified vet. Back when they were alive I didn't have the money for two more geckos anyways, let alone take them to the vet. If anyone wanted to know, mango lasted longer surprisingly. The other one was impacted. Sad story.
