Leo Gecko Skinny?

Question

Brought Morph on Thursday just gone. She looked a bit under weight in my opinion. Got some crickets. Med size, and some meal worms.
I Placed 5 crickets in the tank, Ive found 4 dead and Im sure there is still one roaming.
Temp is at 80 whic ive been told is right, also fresh water is in there.
It could be coz she is somewhere new (same viv just different house)
Bit worried. Any clues?
Ive been told she is around a year old.
She licks her lips oftern, and found her grooming herself today so it cant be all that bad?

Answer 1

First I would not have bought her if she looked under the weather.
Second the hot side of the viv neds to be at about 85F and the cool side at about 70F during the day time at night 10 degrees less. She needs a reasonable humidity of say 50% and she shoyld be fed live brown crickets or wax worms. Please do not feed meal worms as these can be a danger if they are still alive when they get to the lizards stomach. They may eat their way out.

Answer 2

Your temp on the warm side of the tank should be about 88. Once you get that up for her she may start eating on her own if not you can try smaller crickets, meat based baby food and wax worms, wax worms are very fattning so shouldnt be to large a part of their regular diet but are fine when you are trying to add some wieght to her. If she dosent start eating within a week you will want to make a vet appointment with her just to make sure she dosent have anything wrong such as internal parasites to be causing her weight issues. Good Luck and here are some care guides on leopard geckos.

Have her tested for pinworms. They'll take her appetite alright
