Yes you should put another humid hide for the new gecko also don't forget to quarintine your new leo

okay okay :)
here's a pic of my male patternless - Sherman
and the quarantine should be 3 months with a fecal right away and another in about 2 months to make sure (if she was medicated) that all parasites are gone
Have you had the 1st leo checked out? fecal done?

Very nice your patternless guys!!

Have you had the 1st leo checked out? fecal done?

No, i have had her for 4 months and never had any problems. Should i go even if i never had any problems??

bye bye,

here are a few patternless juvies playing in thier hides. There should be a choice of hides in an enclosure. One at the warm end and one at the cooler end.

i recommend before you put 2 together that you have them both checked out
fecals are easy and cheap and it saves a lot of headache and heartache to know for certain that they are parasite free

of course this is all in my humble opinion...

[SnowSnake]

Ok, where do i go for fecals? How much does it usually cost?

Heres a question for Beth: What do you use in your humid hides??

[beth wallbank]

vermeculite, perilite, peat moss, spagmum moss, soil.....basically anything that will absorb water for periods of time.

[silke]

any vet should be able to do a fecal exam and they are usually around $20

the subtrate in the hide is vermeculite. It is readily found at any gardening store or home depot type store. Walmart has it too. I have never had problems using it and use it for incubating eggs too.

Any reptile vet should do a fecal for you. It usually runs about 10 bucks each. (At least in the US) But they will probably require an exam which could be around 40 dollars. Don't let the cost discourage you from doing it though. It would be irresponsible to put two leos together that have not had fecal exams.
