Mine is the same way. He was in shed when I got him from a local breeder and hasn't eaten at all since I've had him which means about 2 months of no food. I took him to the vet, he said he wasn't too concerned yet though. Just leave different kinds of food in the cage overnight - frozen/thawed rodents, live (as long as it's a fuzzy or pinky, go with rats they are more nutritious if you have a choice), scented with anoles or gerbils, etc.



If you can get a wet poop sample bring it to a vet in a plastic bag and have them test it for parasites and what not. That could be the cause. In most states (in NJ and NY at least) you can get an "unfit for sale" document from a vet if the animal is sick upon purchase, check with yours though.
