I got my leo about 3 weeks ago, once i brought him home and put him in his cage i fed him some crickets. he ate them like nothing. now he doesnt have any interest in them at all. I have tried meal worms, dried crickets, and hand feeding him. he just doesnt want to eat. My temps are at 92/74 and around 80 at night. My humidity is hard to keep around 60% its usually 30% when i get home from work... I have a tub with some moss that i spray in the morning. His tail is getting thinner, his eyes look "dull" and he is not as active. I am not sure if there is a vet around my area... :/

How old/big is the gecko? Where did you get him from? In general, lots of adult geckos don't eat much this time of year, but the babies and juvies should eat. If a gecko isn't eating but also isn't showing significant weight or behavior changes I don't worry, but if yours is visibly losing weight then it may need intervention. If you got it from a large chain petstore there's a chance it has parasites. Let us know where you're located and someone may know of a reptile vet, or else there are websites to find one (someone post this if you know). If you live in a city with a vet school that may be a care option as well.
