Is it normal for a leopard gecko to lick it’s vent “private area” my leopard gecko does it everyday. I thought she has a parasite but she isn’t showing any signs of having it. She has a great appetite, her stool looks normal, her tail is fat, she is alert, she is active and her eyes look good

Occasionally is normal. If it is frequent, it may indicate infection, irritation, parasites or constipation. Submit a stool sample to your veterinarian to definitively diagnose intestinal parasites. Look her over for any unusual redness, swelling or discharge. If you see anything suspicious, have her examined by your vet or an experienced herp vet.
