Hey you guys! I was referring to my leos I recieved from Crestedgecko.com. I'm sorry for the confusion. The warm side is about 82 and the cool side is about 73-75. They have 2 hides, fresh water. I don't handle them. And they have eaten 2 giant mealies. They must be eating because They are pooping, am I right? they 2 females are in a 10 gal tank. On calci sand...yes I know....sorry

Love, Danielle

Oops, I thought they were cresteds. a few things
1) It would be better if the "ground temp" on the warm side was closer to 90 deg.
2) 10 gallon tank is the minimum space for 1 gecko, a bit too crowded for 2.
3) I would suggest getting them off the calci sand, on to paper towels.
4) Try crickets, they move more and may entice the geckos into eating.
Are the poops solid? You may want to get a fecal done if they haven't eaten for longer than a couple weeks. A slow down in eating during the winter months isn't unusual, however if you are noticing weight loss in the tails, it may soon be time to worry.
