Check your temperatures, as if the temperatures are too low, then the gecko won't be able to digest the food. He could be impacted because you're housing him on sand. Go to a reputable reptile vet.
I don't know what's happening, but I know you need to take your pet/friend to the veterinarian immediately. These are serious symptoms, especially the fact that you have seen no bowel movements. Please don't wait any longer.
I hope you've gone to the vet before now actually.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
