Hello, I have had my gecko for like maybe month or two now and im 99% shes a female as she isnt fully grown yet but shes been normal until like a week ago? She eats like a pig and its very calm when i hold her but, lately she hasnt gone for any crickets only cleaning out her dish of like 5-7 worms every night. When a cricket is in front of her she just watches it but the real shocker to me is 24/7 (or whenever i try to fed or when i see her out (WHICH IS Rarely NOW WHICH ISNT NORMAL FOR HER SHES ALWAYS OUT) she seems lethargic in my opinion but anyways she sticks her tail up and moves it extremely slow it reminds me of a snake like movement (IF NEEDED I CAN TAKE AND POST A SHORT VID) but she does that nonstop and she hasnt pooped. Now are these two things connected? remember she eats all her worms but doesnt poop? I was about to research what to do for her not pooping but id figure ill post here first and see what happens. All temps are fine etc no change in diet or anything alright let me know thanks in advance. :/
(btw its the one in my avatar)

The tail swishing is stalking/defensive behavior. It sounds like she may have never seen a cricket before and isn't quite sure what to do with it. If shes happy with worms, I say let her have them.

And soaking them can help them poo...but I'm wondering how her temps and humid hide are? In a related thought, sometimes you'll get the gecko who won't poo anywhere but their hide. I have some that poo only on top of their hide (weirdos). Make sure she's getting enough water, soaking aside.

i heard about the defense thing but she does it 24/7 regardless of a cricket shes eating ton of crix before but she wont come out of her hide either so sumin is up and humid is like 84 and warm is 90ish but temps havent changed at all like when she went into this mode of staying in her hide etc i turned off her heatlamp at night incase maybe it was too hot for her so ill try that for a little but it barley gives of any heat (its a redbulb 60watt) shes used to it
