Re: Help!

Its around 25-27 C and humidity its around the 50% i haven't turned on heat lamp at nights cuz the weather its have been really hot (around the 90 - 100 F) and I misted the cage twice a day. The only thing that improved its that he started to move a lot more, but still don't want to eat, could be possible that he's just indigested?

Re: Help!

What kind of substrate do you have him on? Is there a possibility of impaction? May also be parasites?

Re: Help!

Hi there somethings have changed he's more active now and his colors are more lighter than yesterday, the only thing its that he still don't want to eat . Here are the facts that you're asking he's about a year, yesterday he made his droppings as regularly, i was feeding him with freeze-dried crickets from fluker's labs with an exo-terra vivicator he was eating regularly, and the substrate is potting soil (because I had live plants - mother in laws tongue -) without any fertilizers and at the bottom was a layer of gravel to prevent the soil become soggy, i was using the quick and easy guide from Allen both.

Re: Help!

How long have you had him? If he's new to you, or if this is a new cage for him, he may be afraid and having a hard time adjusting.

I'm not an expert on geckos, but if you've had him for awhile and this is the first time you've had a problem with it, a vet's visit is probably a really good idea. Especially as there is a good chance he could have picked a parasite somewhere along the line.
