Okay, took her back to the store, and they told me
that it was a dietary problem. She had been eating only waxworms and she
lacked energy and protein. That explains her laziness. So now I'm
susposed to feed her only crickets with supplemation every other time.
Thanks for all your help.

Subject: [Gecko] My Leo Gex vomits...
what do I do? (Newbie)
I've had this gecko for two months
now. She (about one year old and 6 inches)
ate a month ago (when I first got her) like a horse (6 waxworms in an hour)
and now she hasn't touched them for a week. This week she has eaten a couple,
but vomits when she does, as well as poops too. She gets crickets and
waxworms and the reptile store I bought her from said to also use small
mealworms. I've tried this and the crickets normally die before she can eat
them. I have a 10 gal tank with a long water dish and a 3/4 inch deep food
dish. The cool side is about 75 degrees and the warm side is 95 degrees
depending on how deep the sand is (she likes to dig a lot and that varies the
sand depth). I use Calci-Sand and an undertank heater. I've tried letting the
worms go loose in the cage thinking she can't find them in the dish, but they
get burried by her digging and are not found. Please help me determine why she
is vomitting and what I can do for her.
Thanks,
Ben James
