So this isn't a MAJOR issue but me being me I'm a little worried and confused.

From the time I received Lana (Nov. 4th) up until January she was eating 10 mealies a night. It was obvious she was gaining weight even though I don't have a scale to give numbers. Anyway in the beginning of January I was running low on mealies so I started feeding her every other day, I also moved her into a bigger tank a 20gallon Long. In her new tank she has paper towel substrate, 4 hides (humid hide with Coconut Fiber), water dish, calcium dish. My apartment is around 80 degrees so I imagine her cool side and ambient temps are around there. Her cool side is around 94ish (I have a rheostat so it jumps a little from time to time.)

I know it's not a BIG deal but she really hasn't eaten since last Thursday but she is still pooping in her corner, that's the part that's confusing me. I know she's not eating because I count her mealies when I put them in and atleast twice a day to keep track of how much she's eating and they've been in there since thursday with a few flakes or oatmeal and a thin piece of carrot to keep them going. Her poops are smaller then usual but are normal otherwise. She's also been hanging out in the Humid Hide the past 3 - 4days. She comes out from time to time but most of it is spent in the humid hide but I hanv't seen any signs of shed or a shed coming on

Anyone know what's going on? Or is it just stupid for me to even worry about it?

We have had one or two that did that before they laid eggs ( eggs were infertile ...no males). It may just be the new home too. I'd just keep an eye on her.

not eating a week isn't a big deal :) just make sure she does not los any weight. Gecko's normally spend there days in a hide, mine spend all day in moist hide and surface when its starts to get dark, thats just normal gecko behavior.

Lol @ Shawn and Katelyn..

thanks for the info ya'll I hope she is ovulating so she can start eating soon.

I know it isn't a HUGE deal but ever since I got her she's been pretty consistent. She mainly hides in her Exo Terra Hide during the day. In the evening she would come out to eat and walk around. Later on at night she would lay on the cool side then she would go back into hiding until I turned the lights off and she walked around. Too see her NOT eating and just hiding out in the Humid Hide was kind of weird since she only seems to go in when she's shedding, she likes to hang out in the plants avoid it mostly.
