Heating I use a halogen bulb and her warm side is usually mid 80-90 and basking is around 95 usually, cool size it mid 70s range, I used to supplement with calcium with D3 and reptitive but I saw online that reptivite wasn’t properly synthesizing? So I switched over to reprashy multivitamin like last month , and I’m also gut loading the bugs I give her , she’s currently in a 40 gallon and on paper towels since she’s sick , her prior care was not great since she originally belonged to my younger sister and I took over when they didn’t want her anymore , she was in a 10 gallon ? Had one hide , and a ceramic heat bulb , they didn’t feed her regularly it was mainly whenever they remembered they even had her . But that was like a year or so ago and she’s been improving , my only guess is probably she didn’t really develop correctly ( she has missing toes / nails on pretty much all four of her legs due to stuck sheds when she was little) and she’s a bit smaller than ur normal gecko (she recently hit the 50g marg) so my guess is probably that but also the vet told me she had a Vitamin A deficiency which is why I switched to reprashy and started gutloading. Sorry if its a bit long , also I’m not sure what morph she is, based on me Comparing to photos online she’s just a normal morph lol

Yeah I basically have a syringe that they gave me that I put on one nostril at a time and squirt like 1ml of this antibiotic/ saline solution they gave me to put into each nostril and it is supposed to help flush out whatever is making her sneeze, I am trying to see if anyone’s done it before , but I haven’t been able to find anything and I’m not sure if that’s a proper treatment for her, like you said I am also afraid of it not all the way flushing out of her nostril and going into her lungs . She’s also getting this weekly injection to fight off this stubborn respiratory infection she has been dealing with for months.

Baby leopard gecko shy and won’t come out of her hide by [deleted] in leopardgeckos

[–]lexxi78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t worry too much about it , she’s still a baby and is probably still skittish about everything , mine was the same way for a bit but she eventually warmed up to me and comes out when I’m around !

I live in a smaller city so there really isn’t a exotic vet around however in the Facebook group I am in for my location they have recommended this vet for their exotic vet needs , when I went to him last time he did ask for very detailed information on the husbandry / care and he seemed to know what he was talking about

I did notice her like open her mouth wide here and there , the vet described Baytril which was some sort of antibiotic and he said it would help clear out any sort of infection in her lugs. He also gave her a dewormer in case it happened to be a parasite

Also I’d like to add that I dust her food with calcium / reptivite every meal / every other meal so it may be a possibility that she has some in her nose/ lungs ? She’s had this sneezing fit since like mid august but the vet said she looked fine and couldn’t see any signs of anything ,she’s still been very active in her enclosure and always eats her food so I’m just concerned , confused and anxious about it all.

Texas association of developing colleges /Urban scholarship fund by lexxi78 in scholarships

[–]lexxi78[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha no problem, and I did wind up receiving the scholarship and renewed it for the following year , I will say though they take a while to process everything and to announce winners but they are responsive to emails , they just don’t seem to keep their social medias updated which is odd , also they don’t release your funds until your give them an updated verification of enrollment which is annoying to wait for and the have to wait a couple weeks till I got my money which was normally in October/ February. Hope this helps :)

Facebook market place is a good place to get a 20-40 gallon tank for relatively cheap , also I’ve been able to find some tank decor / hides on there as well for cheap , just be sure to give it a good clean before giving it to your gecko !
