The problem started when my leo was on tile and that is what she has been on her whole life until recently when I switched to sand. I plan on switching back to tile but don't want to stress her out anymore than I have too. I had to switch to sand because the tile had grown some mold under it from mealies getting under and dying. I can't get a fecal sample because she doesn't go to the bathroom.

I would suggest a vet visit asap as well.

:D I'm smiling because I have no idea whats going on!

I would love to take her to the vet....but my parents don't think a $15 lizard is worth going to the vet and because I also will only be able to have her for another year before I go to school.

Also, get rid of the sand, she may not be eating now but when she starts you dont want to feed her on sand, she could get impacted. You can use paper towels or shelf linerThe price of the lizard shouldnt matter, how much you love and care abou tit is all that matters. Vet trips arnt terribly expensive either. My vet charges 25$ for a fecal..good luck and I hope all goes well!

what do I do to get her to eat again or what should I do to make her eat?

Before you can get her to eat again you need to find out what stoped her from eating.
