After being re-homed to me roughly 7 weeks ago due to a need for medical care, Mabel is still overcoming a few obstacles.

Her vet initially prescribed us a round of antibiotics to successfully treat GI Protozoa and an advanced case of mouth rot she is still slowly healing from. After the clear stool sample, we got the all clear to transition to naturalistic substrate!

Around this time, symptoms of a respiratory infection started to appear despite her temperature and humidity levels staying within the recommended ranges.

After another trip to the vet, we have a second round of antibiotics to kick this infection get her back to 100%. She is doing well with gentle assist feeding to retain weight, but I’m hopeful she will develop a natural appetite and hunting instincts in the future as well.

What morph do you guys think she is? She's got some big spots and little spots. She's pretty fired up right here.

🦎Just for Fun🦎 New aft gecko. Just got her today. She was very calm and didn’t move much upon opening her container. She did eat a cricket for me as soon as I gave it to her.

I know she hadn’t ate for at least a day because she was shipped over night to me from a reputable breeder with great reviews off morph market. She seems happy now after getting in enclosure and exploring now taking a nap.

He's a little turd butt. With his cuteness though, all is forgiven.

Help/Advice Mouth rot or abscess? Vet appt scheduled

The vet couldn’t get her in until next Friday. She’s always had this slightly raised mouth line that I used to think was mouth rot but vet said it wasn’t. (For years) Now there has developed a hard bump protruding from her lip in the same area and I’m not sure it’s mouth rot or an abscess from a tooth or something since she has had that weird gumline for a long time. Any advice on what it could be? She’s an African fat tail but their sub isn’t well used
