Here is the xray today, 24 hours after the barium tracer was given orally, as you can see the dye is all in one area, going again tommorow to see if it moves

Hopefully there are no blockages. If you begin to notice any weight loss you should force feed. Otherwise anything after 8 days you may want to go ahead. Pick up some Fluker's Repta-Aid(Repta-Boost) as well.

update number i lost track: dye has not moved, so it looks like it is impaction, the vet injected a mixture of food and mineral oil directly into the stomach to attempt to loosten things up and aid in a bowel movement, i will call him on monday to schedule yet another xray as well as visually observe for a stool.

newest update, yesterday i came home to a layer of oil on the surface of the water in his swimming area which means that he passed the mineral oil laxative or at least the oil made it through his system, he also jumped once at a cricket but then didnt try again. getting another xray on monday to see if the barium tracer passed through his system.

UPDATE GOODNEWS!!!

HE just pooped! the water was all merky with some roach and cricket bits floating on top, so impaction is most likely ruled out, still refusing food, what do i do next???

day 8, he is still not eating, doesnt seems to care for anything from crickets to dubias, i made a bowel movement yesterday, he has lost 2 grams in the last 8 days which is barely anything.

Is he moving around? Staying in one spot? Burrowing?
