Are these geckos in separate cages? Are the cage temps up to par? How old are they?

I would give it 2-3 more days before becoming concerned. Answer the questions above and we may be able to give a little more insight.

Today she ate crickets but not meal worms like she was eating before, i guess she just didn't want any meal worms. So i am not worried now that she ate something and i will still try to feed her meal worms but i guess i have to start buying crickets for her more often.

That's good to hear.

They are in separate cages the temp is 88-89 on the hot side and 75-79 on the cool side and one is about 2 years and the one which was not eating is around a year.

My male won't eat the mealies unless I drop them in front of him. He'll even go as far as looking in the dish, but simply refuses to dine unless I hand feed him. He will go after a cricket like you wouldn't believe though. I only give them to him as a treat because they smell & make noise if you have to keep them as the primary food.

Thanks it makes me feel better about the situation.

Healthy adult leos do not need to be fed every day. Some of mine have gone for a week with out eating, at the same time they do not lose any weight. Since they are no longer growing they do not require as much food. My geckos generally eat every 2-3 days. This may be the case with one that is not eating every day.

Yea, I just got a new shtctb and I have had her for 1 day now and she hasn't eaten yet. Im not worried shes probably stressed out from getting a new home. I will wait a couple more days. Nothing to worry about, im just really exited.
