gecko update - amanda509 - 06-08-2012
okay, i had some extra time on my hands so i redid both enclosures to bare basics to possibly catch some poo when they go for a fecal. i did find a vet, but they are off for the whole summer, go figure -.- i left a message though and i hope they get back to me soon...the female did eat 2 superworms, they disappeared from her enclosure, no poo though. and the male did eat one or two from his enclosure as well, but no new poo...i have pictures of the old stuff while it was fresh if anyone wants them :p soaked the male for about ten minutes while i was doing his cage, he kinda enjoyed it, lol. and i showed the female her new laying box, but hasnt gone in it on her own.

The enclosures look good Manda! I'm glad they have both eaten. I don't remember if you said before, but do you have any local livestock/rural/horse type veterinarians that you know, that would maybe just do the fecal test for you?
Either way, it may just be stress and dehydration from the crappy care they got from shipping and being kept at petco. Now that they are eating a little and separated, you should be able to track the defecation a bit better. Don't you love taking about poo
And make sure you are washing your hands afterwards, just to male sure if they do have something you don't pass it to your chams.

ive called all the vets, including the livestock ones, nobody will do the fecals without a checkup and only an exotic vet will do the checkup -.- but yea, im washing my hands on a regular basis now lol

Nice setup, amanda.
I am a noob on reptile pet. So I have no idea what is this for, what is that for.
Would you mind to mark label on each thing in the enclosure?
By the way, did you separate the two leopard gecko? I only see the male one in the first photo.
