Sorry for the long post!
My leo is approximately 4 months old, we’ve had her since April 21. She usually stays in her humid hide all day and comes out around 10 p.m. or so, goes to the bathroom and sometimes has a few mealworms. Every morning around 5:30, she is out in the open and I feed her 6-9 mealworms, with a wax worm thrown in there once in a while. I have a UTH and a red 60 watt bulb that stays on from 8 a.m. until 11 p.m. Them temps are always around 88-90 on the warm side. The other day I decided to buy a 75 watt black bulb. I really like the look of it and the temp did not increase when I changed over. I fed her yesterday morning (Tuesday) 7 mealworms and 2 wax worms. She did not come out all day or night and didn’t even go to the bathroom last night. This morning she would not come out for her mealworms and she just stayed in her humid hide and looked away from me. I don’t know if I should be concerned or not, but she seems to be on such a schedule that any change makes me worry. Also, I’m not sure when her last shed was, since I’m sure she does this when we are asleep. Any ideas? Thanks.

If you have a glass tank - my two did not like to come out during the day untill I covered three sides of the tank. Now they roam around and sleep all over the tank. Your gecko may feel less secure with the increased visible light. Just a thought.
