This is a post I am not wanting to make and I am a bit scared. Leon is now over 4 years old and my first Veiled. He is the guy that started my obsession. Last week I noticed his tongue is not working well, so I was holding crickets for him to zap at short distances. That seems to be better this week. Today I caught him in his "morning act" and fecal seemed darker and redder than normal, so I grabbed what I could falling through his plant and it is certainly runny and bloody. I really could not smear up enough for a good fecal, so hopefully tomorrow I can capture one and run to the Vet with it. I also have a call into her. I am thinking it safe to assume kidney failure or parasitic infection-correct?
I don't have time to fill out how to ask for help, but just so it is known-24X24X48 lushly planted screen cage with a basking spot at 90 and ambient temps in the low to mid 70's. Reptisun 5.0 UVB, well gutloaded feeders properly supplemented, little handling, had him since he was 2 months old from Fl Chams. I really hope this is not the beginning of the end for him as I have always hoped he would live to be 8 years old.![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
