my baby leopard gecko!


i've had my gecko since mid-march, and hes about 4 or 5 months old, and today i had him on my shoulder. i was in my kitchen getting his mealworms out of the fridge, and i went to feed him one out of my hand, but i dropped the meal worm. as i went to pick him up, my gecko lept off myshoulder and landed head first on the hardwood floor. immediately there was a few drops of clear liquid (im guessing it was urine or something), and his tail was sticking straight out and his little arms were folded back. he layed there shaking for a few moments, then slowly stopped and layed still. my eyes watered up cuz i was FREAKING out (i love my gecko). i picked up his little body and he opened his eyes. he clung to my hand and was very docile until i put him back in his cage. when i put him down he starting freaking out like he'd never been in his tank before. i fed him a meal worm and he ate three, now hes hiding in his rock on the warm side like he usually does. i'm so worried he's gonna die over night, but i dont have enough time or money to take him to the vet right now oh i love my Killer i don't know what i'm gonna do.

any suggestions?

what happen is that when he fell he bruised his tummy area there is a possiblkitiy of internal bleeding , but more then likely not give him his food every day try not to handle him for a few days let him rest, check on the underside if you see a dark spot like a bruise then watch it very carefully and make sure hes eating and drinking, he should pull out of it ok i have one who i call lucy and she jumps mand many times she bruised her belly and to this day she is fine , also make sure he is warm and has a cold spot in the tank good luck keep us posted
