First time poster here, but long time reader. I purchased two leopard gecko's from ++++++++ i'd say about 2 months ago. I did not get a birth date as of course ++++++++ didnt know, and I went against my instinct of getting them from a breeder.
But, lesson learned. I am beginning to worry about her as she doesnt seem to be growing. She has shed twice, and currently has some stuck shed on her head. By comparison in size to the other I purchased at the same time, he has more than doubled in size, and she has not. She eats very well, but spends most of her time in the cold hide, except for after eating. She will go to her warm, or moist hide for awhile.
Should I be concerned? Her tail doesnt seem to be fattening up, and as I stated she doesnt seem to grow. Any help would be appreciated, and below is the copy paste of her tank etc
