So I have a 1 year old leo that has been eating superworms problem-free for about 6 months, but just recently he became a picky eater. Before, he would eat just about anything that moved in his tank (crickets, mealies, superworms, waxies), and I fed him superworms largely for the ease of care.
Now we will turn to look at the superworm, follow it with his head like he is going to eat it, and then lose interest. He will eat waxworms, but I'd rather not just feed him those, since he would eat a lot of them and get fat (he's 11 inches long and weighed about 120g before he decided to go on hunger-strike, already a hefty gecko).
Tank conditions are good, one side warm, one side cool, hides in both. While this is a relatively new tank for him, he has been in this tank and eating for a bit.
He is pooping, and he's on paper towel, so I don't think its an impaction.
Also the tank is only lit by the room lighting, warm side of tank is heated through a heating pad under the tank. Temps are good and warm.

be strong and refuse to give waxworms!!!
