Question

My baby Leo
Hey,Sorry I had to make another question,I just took a picture of my leo and uploaded it. You can just tell me what you think in our previous convo.

Answer
Hi Taylor,
Ok..she doesn't look bloated, so most likely not a parasite problem.  Pretty little leo, she is!
She does look like she is starting to chage colors in areas, like getting ready to shed, but sometimes hard to tell in a picture due to shadows, etc.
She doesn't look horrible..yet.. do try what I suggested in my last reply with hand feeding, etc..if that doesn't work in a day or two, then I would call the store...of course if she goes downhill, gets weak, etc sooner, then call them ASAP.
Did they have any clue as to her age? How long did they have her in the store?
Personally, I prefer getting a small lizard such as a leo when they are a few months old over a hatchling as baby babies can be tough to get going with eating, as you are finding out. I also  go with rescues or private, reputable breeders over stores and people that breed and sell "just because" they have leos and/or want to "make money".
