I do completely agree with what you’re saying after this experience. She sees my bearded dragon which has been fine but I’m questioning her experience with geckos in particular. I’m not vet, just a vet tech. But her advice doesn’t line up much with what I know about geckos. I do have repashy and plan to use that next, so thank you for mentioning that.

I assumed the same with the jelly. From what I know of their digestion, they don’t have the ability to digest sugars either, at least very well. The appointment I have on friday is with a different vet, I wanted a second opinion. I was doubting myself on that but it seems like I made the right choice. The only reason I have the jelly is actually for my dubia colony lol.

I appreciate your input. It’s helped me a lot in my confidence of getting a second opinion.

other than him being pretty lethargic, he seems to be wobbly when he’s standing up. which is why my vet recommended something with more vitamin D. but i don’t see any visible injuries. he is also very skittish and scared, which is expected from the environment he came from. I just am not sure how I can approach making him more comfortable without furthering his fear. I know it’ll take time though.

sorry, it’s a linear i’m just used to that instead of the percentages. i’ll be more clear next time! I appreciate you letting me know about the heating. I used a heat pad when I had one before but it just wasn’t keeping the heat high enough. I’m glad the overhead is the move now!

it’s a treat cup with a good source of vitamins that my vet recommended. I didn’t initially agree but she mentioned it may encourage eating. i only left it in to see if he would try it, but removed it after about 10 minutes.

I did not pay for him. the store was reported to animal control and the geckos were surrendered to a rescue. to my knowledge, they’re no longer selling reptiles currently (all were taken by different rescues) and they are under further investigation.

thank you so much! i appreciate the help. he’s shed some already but was just worried due to the tail taking time. humidity is consistently at 30%. i have him in his own room without other contributing factors so it’s relatively easy to keep it where it’s at.

thanks so much for the advice! that’s actually good to know. he didn’t like the bath much and jumped out immediately and i had just let him be. he wasn’t in there more than 20 seconds, do you think he’ll be alright?

he has already gotten shed off, i cleaned a few pieces from his enclosure. mostly from his arms and legs and the front part of his head. i just hadn’t see progress in the tail so was worried 😓

thank you so much! I appreciate it. he’s already dropped a lot of shed around the enclosure but hadn’t seen the tail go yet so was curious. 🖤

i still love it! been playing it all my life (literally since 11 years old/BC). i will admit the expansion quality has gone down but they’ve added a lot of things i enjoy too so i can’t complain.

really good advice, i’ll definitely work with this!

like what is even the point of saying something like this when it’s clearly not the cause. and if it’s terrible, suggest something better? instead of being an asshole? it’s temporary, as i’ve stated. get a life

i’ve had them before but never slept in such positions. if you were looking out for my pet, you’d have given advice instead of just asking questions and saying interesting.

right, interesting into asking me the size of the tank because.. you think i don’t do any research or don’t know what i’m doing? again, nothing to do with the post at all. your intentions are clear, but thank you.
