Gut Impaction in gecko?

[PythonOwner25]

Hi, One of my Amyae had been acting strange and drinking a lot of water. I moved her into a separate enclosure away from the others to keep an eye on her. He did a poo a few days ago and it contained just sand...so think she may have impaction??? how do i fix this problem? Cheers

I'd say if it's passed that then you've probably fixed the impaction. In terms of not letting it happen again I'm not entirely sure, perhaps try and tong feed the amyae so it is less likely to ingest sand?

wet his substrate and pack it down so it isn't as loose.
Keep an eye on him though if it has passed then that is a great thing. I would also use tongs to feed for a week or so and maybe bump the temp up a few degrees
