Need some info

Got 2 wee female leo gecko's 1x albino 1xhypo, came home from work and the hypo had died, fed them locusts last night, it appears she had eaten both of them but they hadnt digested properly. Could this be what caused her to die? Sad but we r burying her 2mor R.I.P Clio x

I presume they were rightly sized locusts compared to the leo? just going roughly what I know of them is that a 5th locust is more than enough for one leo, and mines roughly 10 months and a fair size, also considering their stomach is roughly the size of the distance between their eyes

no doubt it choked on the locust, personally I just put the locust in and wait 10 minutes and if it hasnt been eaten then take it out

sorry to hear for your loss :( never nice losing any pet

where 4ths, was thinking that myself..was told by a friend today that if i bring the body to a vet i can pay 2 check what happened, the albino came from the same clutch and was living with it so wana make sure shes ok just. On a brighter note i did get a few new critters 2day :) gotta love retail therapy!

Ah ok, well seems like you said one just choked on the locust, their stomach arent very big. What age is your leo anyway? maybe just one locust would do a day and keep an eye on her make sure they are eating them ok?:)

oh what did you get?:)

albino leo is around a year is big enough 4 breeding but still gonna wait till she puts more weight on, changed them on 2 small crickets now they seem happy enough lol. Got a few nice things, few baby beardies ( 1 tangerine), wee mantis, a hybrid corn/rat snake looks like a pewter but still not 100%, red tegu, forest scorpion and another wee bby hypo gecko, getting a racking system 2mor so gonna tub most of my snakes so i can get a dew nice displays down in the house

sorry to hear, it sounds as if it might have choked, i dont feed mine locusts at all, generally only crickets or mealworms. but thats mainly because i have them for the beardies anyway. locusts have quite sharp legs aswell could have maybe cut open there throat. a post mortum can be quite expensive to get done.

that is a nice bit of retail therapy!!
glad i dont have your disposible income or id have no room at all to live in! its bad enough as it is!!!

Yeah I guess it depends on their age and locust size, never any problems wit mine but one is definitely big enough for my leo whos round 10 months and on 5ths

wooow very nice retail therapy there indeed :P always fancied a mantis but alas i shall stick to just my leo :)

Sorry to hear about your lose mate.
As other people have said it sounds like the wee guy choked.

Always air on the side of caution when feeding.
It's always better to feed two smaller things than 1 massive thing.

cheers guys .. appreciate the feed back
