Hi Derek,

What type of gecko have you?  We need more info.  I hope that it's not too late, but if you have this gecko on sand, put him on a paper towel immediately instead.  The blockage could be a sand impaction from using a silica (jagged-edged) sand which accumulates in the intestine and could easily result in your pet's death.

I'd advise seeing a non-domestic vet ASAP!


I have juvenile gecko that has quite a large blockage in it's stomach. The blockage is so large and has grown so rapidly that it is making it's stomach discolored. I have tried putting him in some warm water to break things up , but is there anything else I can do. Please help. Thanks
