Hi

Check your heat source and make sure the end of the tank that you dedicated as the basking end is warm enough, about 80 degrees. Make sure you are using size appropriate food for the size of the gecko.

I use a newspaper and papertowel substrate for my tanks, which is the best thing, but if you are using something else, make sure that it isn't something that the crickets could hide under and away from your geckos sight. Make sure to dust the crickets with calcium.

If you just recently got him, don't worry yet, he could just be getting used to his new environment.

If he starts to get way to thin, get him to a vet. asap!.

Sincerely, TLB
