Full Cycle for Digestion?

Well, my gecko finally ate 2-3 days ago. The only problem is that it seems like the crickets have just been sitting in his stomach. How long does it take for food to be stored in the tail? He pooed twice in the past [week?], though.

if he pooing fine then there's no need to worry about it. His tail will build up if he's eating.
Though how old is your gecko? because young ones tails dont get as fat as you may see adults.

mostlikely under a few months old. Are you offering him mealworms at all? Some of mine absolutly love them. Just double check your tempetures in your tank 90's on warmside and 75-80 on coolside. I keep my warm side at 95f nice and toasty; helps with digestion. You should see him plump up if temps are ok and he is feeding everyday. I always have mealworms in a small bowl for them to snack on at all hours. Give us some pics! =D

Warm side of the tank is a comfy 95, like yours. He hates mealworms. Didn't eat one, no matter what way we offered them.
