Leopard gecko sick in less than 48 hours?

[Bogertophis]

I don't think it's just impaction. She keeps turning upside down which is far from normal. In her cage she normally has a calcium dish, so I know it's not something like that. It's something deeper if she's turning upside down constantly.


Eco Earth is OK for geckos. Better than sand since it breaks down in water, etc.


At this point I don't know if I'm making her suffer more by just prolonging the inevitable.

If she has some undigested cricket legs stuck in her gut, it would cause enough discomfort to make her twist & maybe turn upside down for relief. Just like horses,
when they colic they want to lay down & roll over (which can be fatal if their insides get twisted in the process). Try a dose of mineral oil &/or get her to vet a.s.a.p.
