Default New baby leo - 08-12-2010, 11:52 AM

Hi, I got a baby leo 2 weeks ago from Reptile Cymru in Cardiff. It's a great place with really helpful and informative staff and all the animals are well cared for so I was more than happy that I was purchasing a healthy Leo from knowledgable people. Shiloh as I named her/him has benn settling into its new home quite well and started eating o the second night. So far s/he is still only eating around three size3 crickets a night. I have a small dish of mini mealies in there 24/7 but as of yet they've remained uneaten(I put fresh in every other day) s/he did however eat 3 small waxworms two nights ago. My question is that apart from last thursday night when Shiloh shed its poop has not been solid. I know that the stress of a new home can increase intestinal parasites which can cause runny poop but when should I start worrying in terms of having a fecal examination done by a vet? Shiloh is very alert, spritely, eating and drinking, had a sucessful shed and otherwise seems perfectly healthy. I have a daytime temp of 89.4f on the hot side and 82.6 on the cool which drops by 9 degree's at night. Shiloh is on a vinyl substrate and has 4 hides, one on the cool side a hot and moist hide on the warm and a cork bark cave straddling both. Any advice appreciated thanks
