Help please.
Hey everyone,
My friend got a job at one of the pet stores in town, and they never carry reptiles. But they just decided to bring in a Leopard Gecko. They're calling it a Tangent Gecko.
Anyways, it's underweight. It's not gross and sickly, but definately not the picture of health either. The tail isn't as thick as I would keep a gecko at for starters and you can see the spine.
This thing pounds down mealies and supers like no tomorrow. But refuses to eat crickets. As a result, his poo is all mealie shells which cannot be good for him. (I'm thinking it would be like us eating sunflower seeds shelled and whole as a staple diet and trying to go to the bathroom, not fun).
Anyways, that's the first problem that needs a solution.
Secondly, they don't have any calcium suppliment, however I orderred him to pick some up immediately. The gecko looks like he could use all the help he can get and Calcium sups are pretty basic.
I have very little experience with Leos and other geckos. Is there anything else I can advise him to do?
