ever since my leo got his sperm plugs removed at the vet, he seems a lot more reclusive. i know he’s probably stressed but the vet visit was wednesday. i assumed it was stress from the vet and from shedding (he JUST shed last night) but even after hes still hiding a lot more?? he also hasn’t pooped in at least a week

He might be a bit uncomfortable. You can reach out to your vet to discuss pain management

coukd it be from not pooping?

in my experience, geckos can just sometimes hold it in because its painful to poop. so definitely ask about pain management like aly said
bex had tramadol for pain management just in case its why she was constipated
it worked like a charm the first time around

Maybe, but could also be because his hemipenes are sore since I’m sure getting the sperm plugs caused some tissue trauma

okok, i don’t think they’re open since it’s christmas so i’ll wait until they’re open to ask. thank you both. and happy holidays!!

sorry, did she poop after having the pain meds or is that what constipated her
pastel pivot
she pooped after the pain meds
tawny gale
ohhh ok
pastel pivot
we assume its because the poop was so big that it was too hard for her to push out
tawny gale
i think he was given pain meds when he initially got them out but he didn’t send me home with any
so i will definitely ask when i can
tawny gale
should i give him a warm bath?
tawny gale
HE POOPED!!!!!
