Reptile & Amphibian Forums

A day ago I noticed that when I fed my leopard geckos that one of them would not eat. Today, the one (her name is Feeby) that would not eat is very lethargic and her belly and her hands have lost their normal pinkish color and are almost pure white. Any ideas about what is problem would be helpful. Feeby is about 3 or 4 years old and lives on a diet of gut loaded crickets and mealworms.

I don't mean to sound condiscending, but how long have you had these leos?
Are your UTH functioning? Temps high enough? Are both leos the same size? Is one being bullied. One day of not eating isn't a big deal, but if it keeps happening perhaps seperating them can be a good alternative.
Prolly if you can answer some of my questions others will be able to help
Good luck

I've had these leos for about 5 months. They are seperated, and always have been. During the day, the cooler side stays about 75 F and the warmer side stays about 91 F , then at night the temps are 73F and 84F
Feeby has never given up a meal, especially if it consists of meal worms.

Anorexia can be a big problem, if you have checked that your care methods are correct, and it sounds as if they are, then i would get her to a vet if she does not eat. Especially if her color is changing or she is continously lethargic, these things are much easier to fix if you catch them early!

Within your 5 months of have you witnessed a shed? The whole body lightening and loss of appetite isn't surprising to sheds.
Sorry if this sounds condiscending but sometimes the answer is the simplest one
Good luck

She sheds almost about every two weeks, so I know what that looks like, but like I said before, it isn't her whole body that is white. Her underside/ventral surface, which is normally a pinkish color, has turned white, and she has lost her appetite and moves very lethargically. A trip to the vet exotics dept. is being planned, but thanks for your help

Let us know how it turns out,
again sorry if i sounded condescending there are a lot of new owners and young kids on this forum sometimes. You see a lot of questions asking... "hi my parents just bought me a leo, with no research whatsoever, what do i feed it"
guh...
anyhue good luck with yours
