I've had my female leopard gecko since September of last year, and she's doing fine. However, I purchased an adult male leopard gecko yesterday and he doesn't seem to be doing so well. Both geckos are in the same tank, and at first, the male didn't seem to have a problem. Anyway, he eventually lied down in a corner of the tank and really flattened out. When feeding them last night, my female went after the crickets as always, but my new guy didn't even budge. He kept lying there, and every now and then a cricket would crawl on him and he'd flick it away with a foot or his tail.

Now I know that this adds a lot more stress, so I'm feeding my female separate tonight. A little earlier, I tried giving him a cricket or two and I had the same response as last night. Right now he's in a corner and just hasn't moved. I haven't seen him sleep at all yesterday or today. I've been trying to make it less stressful for him by taping some black paper around the corner he's in.

I'd appreciate some help. :
