It could be many things but this list will get you started.

1. What is the floor temp on the hot side of the cage and what are you using to take the temp?
2. Are you using any kind of lights on him, and if so what?
3. What are you feeding him and what are you gutloading it with?
4. What are you using for a substrate on the bottom of the cage?

im just using paper towel as substrate . i only feed then mealworms
sometimes lateralis , dubia roaches , think the temperature is ok . because its so hot here in the philippines. ligthing ? no im not using any . please help me sir

 

[OhioGecko]

What you think the temp is and what it actually is might be two different things. Get the actual temp and then we can go from there.

 

[idolph]

so what is the ryt temp for him to eat again ? thnx sir !

 

[Khrysty]

Right temp is between 90*F and 95*F on the warm side and between 80*F and 85*F on the cool side.

If you have a heat mat, you need to measure the temps with a digital thermometer that has a probe and set the probe right above the heat mat, resting on top of your substrate

 

[idolph]

they need belly heat to help digest his food. (ie belly lamp)

you might also soak him every day for 20 mins. He might be dehydrated.
