My leopard gecko is lethargic, not eating, and has a thin tail. Is it stick tail?

Question

My leopard gecko April is within 6 months old and shed a couple weeks ago. But she seems to be shedding again her skin is dulling and she's lethargic and not too hungry. Her tail also looks skinnier. Is this stick tail?!?! Please help!!!

To diagnose stick tail, you would need to have April physically examined by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating reptiles. A stool sample will be needed to diagnose the organism responsible. Weigh her every few days and keep track. Check temps to make sure she isn't cold. Low temps can affect appetite and activity in reptiles. Keep food available at all times, but do not leave live prey in her enclosure.
