Chance is not eating. He/she has no fat on tail. There is a blackish spot on his.her tummy( might just be tummy but not sure). He/she is so skinny he/she can barely stand. "Passing out" goes to sleep wherever i put him/her. I am very very worried. Any suggestions? Please post any ideas. I am very worried about him/ her. Thank you millions.

It sounds serious - until you can get her to a vet try the slurry recipe here:
http://www.reptilerooms.com/forumtopic-27659.html It won't cure her but it should get some nutrients into her. Clearly you need to take her to the vet for an emergency appointment. How long has she been like this? To get to that stage doesn't happen overnight normally so a time frame would be helpful. The truth is that a vet is, from the sounds of it, her best (if not only) chance of surviving. -------------------- Jill

Too little energy to move does sound like a serious problem.
How long has it been since he has eaten? When was the last time you saw a poop? Can you give us a complete rundown of his tank, including temps and how they are measured? It could be parasites, sickness, impaction, a tank heating issue, stress, or a combination of those. -------------------- Whatever is true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report, virtuous, praiseworthy:
Think on these things!
