Is my leopard gecko sick?!

[Naato]

My leopard gecko hasn't been eating lately..its been 5 days or so, his colors are very vibrant but I know he's not in shed because he shed a week ago.
He also is very active.. he simply refuses to eat.
What do I do?

What are the cold side temps? Does the thermostat read 95 or does the temp gun? Also, you should have a dry hide on the cool side so that your gecko can cool down without being somewhere too humid.

You're using RepCal Herptivite, right? The issue with that is that it doesn't contain vitamin A acetate so, over time, a gecko will develop a vitamin A deficiency, which can cause problems like issues with shedding, vision problems, a lack of appetite, etc. This may not be what's causing your gecko to not eat, but it's something worth addressing now before it causes real issues. I would recommend picking up Repashy Calcium Plus and using that as directed on the bottle. You don't really need the other stuff. This will provide your gecko with all the nutrients it needs.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but if the gecko isn't too hot (which might be an issue, since he's only in a 10 gallon with the warm side at 95 and no cool dry hide), it could be because it's breeding season and he's looking for a female.

Thank you so much man.

I'm a girl, but you're plenty welcome. But do you know what the cold side temps are? I would just be concerned it's too warm and your gecko can't find a place to cool down.
