Ive been a snake person for the most part, but in a recent trade I aquired my first Leopard Gecko. He's super mellow and tame, but he was a rescue animal from a kid who well, let him get a little too skinny. I have his temps at 88 on the warm side, and roughly 78 on the cool side. The previous owner was giving him superworms to fatten up a bit, since he's still pretty skinny. Ive only had him for two days, but he's shown ZERO interest in feeding. Now im used to snakes going for months without food, but i know Leo's eat almost daily, hence my concern. He has calcium and wax worms, but simply explores his environment at night, completely ignoring food. Should this be a concern? Im mainly worried due to the fact that he's skinny, i figured he'd ravenously eat anything nearby.
