I bought a 'super hypo snow' leopard gecko at a reptile show for $50 two weeks ago. Not sure what a super hypo snow is, but she looks to be a Mack snow. They vendor at the reptile show told me she was 1-2 years old. I got her home and weighed her at 64.4 grams. Anyway, she hasn't been taking food items, I'm not too worried yet, she's really healthy looking. Mostly white with black spots, some light yellow tint, black pupils with tan/black iris.

This is my second leopard gecko, my first was a normal female I got 11 years ago, I no longer own her, but my friend still does and she's doing just great.

Current enclosure is a 10 gallon aquarium with undertank heat pad, with a hot spot around 90, rest of it stays between 75-85 depending on time of day etc. with about 1 inch of play sand, none of that calcium crap.

I've been offering crickets, superworms, and dubias. I've seen her get interested in food items, ie stalk them, even watched her stalk up to a dubia, lick it, and go about her business. She's pretty active at night, exploring etc. Sleeps mostly throughout the day n the hide or on the sandstone rocks that surround the waterdish.

your going to get alot of comments on here unless you remove that sand. So I would suggest you go remove the sand from her enclosure and put down paper towel or tile, those seem to be the two choices of everyone.

If you are concerned about her not eating, call the breeder and ask what they fed her on, then try that. I think 2 weeks is plenty of time to settle in, especially because she is an adult already, if she doesn't pick up on the eating, just take her for a check up at the vets, she should probably have one anyways if you just got her to make sure everything is ok.
