Ok so I have 2 leos both in two different enclosures (1 in 20 gallon long and another in a 28 qt tub) Now the leo in the tub is eating perfect with out issues but the one in the 20G has really ate for the past 2 weeks.
Background:
I used to keep both geckos in the 20 gallon (females) and I just felt they weren't happy together so I got a tub to put one in and keep the other the tank. They both seem happier. (Exploring more, basking, poke head out of hide and sleep instead of sleeping at the very back of the hide)
Now I have done 3 things in the past 2-3 weeks that might have caused the feeding strike:
1) Took out other female
2) Took her to a Herpetology club day at my college (alot of ppl and may have stressed her out but both came so idk)
3) Just moved into my new Apt
As some side notes, her tail has got alittle skinnier, weight has been constant around 40 grams may have lost a gram or so. She doesn't poop everyday anymore. Dish full of meal worms are always in her tank.
I have tried crickets as well.
Let me clarify when I say "sorta eating":
During feeding day (every 2 days) she will eat 2 crickets or a meal worm (when she bites the worm though she spits it back out then eats it maybe but she won't eat anything after that.
Can anyone help me out? Things I have though of is impaction but idk why she is on repticarpet.
Temps:
Hot side:
93-95 on heat mat, 85 ambient
Cool side:
80 for both
Humidity is 50's%
Also she has been looking a little dull (like she does before she goes white for shed)
