Question
Hey. I really hope you can help me. I have had my leopord gecko for about a year and a half now...and he was going pretty good for the first while. But for like..a few monthes now, he has not been eating anyhting. Not the super worms ive been feeding him, he rarely drinks water, and he is very inactive. His tail is significantly thinner as well as his body. He is alot smaller then he was about 6 monthes ago. I even put him in a bigger tank. Im just not sure what to do. Is he dying? And i dont have any connections to a reptile vet from where i live. what can I do!? If possible, can you send me your answer to my e-mail address? thanks.

You can E-mail me at BeardieKeeper10@gmail.com and i will get back to you
He may have internal parasites and while it is not the best thing to try and treat without having a fecal float done by a vet to check for them-there are anti-parasitic meds OTC that you can buy to try and treat him with
There are some relatively new ones that you can buy at PetSmart that were developed by Mr. Ron Tremper who is a legend in his own time with Leopard Geckos
E--mail me and we can go from there
