Gecko Suddenly having dwindling appetite

[samthebigkid]

she was eating just fine, until a few days ago, she hasn't been as interested in food. She just ate her skin via shedding, but how long is too long without eating for me to really be concerned?

The more like an adult she is, the longer she can go without eating. Most of my adults haven't had anything to eat in several weeks and won't eat till Jan. She may still be recovering from her shed, or she may be feeling the weather and the time of year. Unless she visibly starts looking as if she's losing weight, it's not a problem.

ok thanks, she has gained significant weight since i got her, I wish i had a recent pic but this is her a little over a month ago, imagine that tail but like twice as thick. She's also a little longer (around six inches)

my gecko has only eaten a couple superworms in the past 2 weeks. he's fat and doesn't do anything so i'm not surprised he's not hungry. adults don't eat any where near as much as the babies, especially this time of year.
