I recently purchased 2 female leos at an herp show. I know how to take care of them as far as requirments of viv and i have 4 snakes in wich I take care of.
I am however a nebie with Leos and I'm having trouble getting them to eat their first meal here. I brought them home and set them up in their cage Sat. it has been 4 days now and im wandering whats up.
i have tried meals first and then crix. I'm out of ideas.

It's very common for a gecko not to eat right away. My experience is it takes about a month to get them to eat regularily. Not to say it takes a month for them to eat, just to get them on a regular cycle.
Good luck and welcome to the legged lizards!

I got one of them to eat regularly now she eats meals every night just about the other one has ate only 2 mealworms and two crix in the last two weeks about a week apart between the two how long will it take till we should be worried? they were liter mates and we house the two together. The one whos not eating does not have as fat a tail as the good eater any suggestion? should i seperate?
