general feeding question

[Thetrueleoluvr]

Hey everyone, im new here and new on reptiles and i have a question sort of thingy

i dont see my leo Slash

eating and he doesnt come out at "dinner time" at 8 pm

i once stayed up to see him eat till 12 pm and i still didnt see him eating (i know he is eating cuz the crickets in his viv keep reducing and he has a fat tail), he only eats crickets and no other feeds, i once layed a mealworm in front o him and he didnt "see" him, he has no problems with his eyes or sumthin

so....lil help?

Several of my geckos are very reserved about eating. They won't eat if they see me watching or standing near by.

Sorry to interuped your thread, but is Slash on sand. If so, that is a no no.....

Judging by the pic, Slash looks healthy. He is eating which is good. If he wasn't I would be concerned about possible sand impactation. Most eat really late at night but some of mine will eat no matter what time I put mealworms in.

well that couldnt be a problem, the sand , cuz he was on sand for 2 years in the shop...

im sry i double post but i cant edit for a reason....but it isnt sand its clay burrowing substrate

Sand is always a concern. But for your question, maybe you watching him makes him nervous.

Okay. Just was wondering.

So, nothing is wrong just.... leopard gecko character

your fine i went through the same. all it takes is time.. I find that if I am close to my gecko when he is eating he eventually gets used to it
