Hi Paul, Paul wrote: Hello all,       Recently my Leo recently purchesed from a breeder has wet not runny feces that smells like Horrible Breath. Is this a sure sign of a parasite? If you do know from previous experience what their poop is supposed to look like, yes. Runny feces are a sign of some kind of stress, possibly a parasite. Color is important as well, sick guys tend to have green, runny bad smelling poop. Was already planning on a fecal exam, but was waiting till all of them were eating, new home and all. How long have you had them? Were they all from the same source? How many are together? A decent breeder would want to help you with this situation also, so be sure to let them know what is going on. I'm sure they would want to know if your leos tested positive for parasites so they could take care of the geckos on their end as well. You may already know this, however, incase you don't, leos with health issues should be kept on paper towels.   Thanks for any help Paul   PS - is there an archive for the list? Yes, there are two links at the bottom of the list serve page for an old and newer archive: http://www.gekkota.com/html/listserve.html Julie Bergman GGA lifetime member www.geckoranch.com
