Doesn't eat for a month. Impaction? Brumation?

[milhazes]

My female gecko doesn't eat for one month. Her tail is still fat and her belly looks fine I think. She's always on her humid hide and not very active. Could she be in brumation? Her house setup is ok with normal temps (22 C cold and 33.5 C hot).

I would assume it's just going off food or "brumation." It looks healthy. Do you have reason to believe it is impacted? If not offer food every week or two until it starts eating again. However if it starts to lose a lot of weight then you have reason to be concerned. A few grams lost would not concern me.

A few grams over a few months. If it's quick weight loss be concerned.

Only reasons for impaction are: new hide I made out of plaster of paris, which was loosing some fine particles; I from time to time let her roam my room floor with supervision... She could have ingested some stuff on the floor.

Some of my females are eating at every feeding and some have not eaten in a month or more. All are fat and happy. Keep offering and don't be concerned if she doesn't eat as long as she generally maintains her weight.
