i have a male leopard gecko that is about 7 years old. i rescued him from my friend, who wasnt giving him light, water or food. he was horrible skinny and looked sick. i got a lamp for him, cleaned the cage, and fed him regularly. he was getting nice and healthy and he shed alot. but now he won't eat! he hasnt eatin in months. i tried laying off of food cuz i was told they would stop eating if they got too fat, but now he is pretty thin again and he still wont eat. he is so slow that he wont even catch meal worms. how can i get him to eat??? thanks

He needs a vet. After his previous mistreatment he might have several things wrong with him that all your good care just can't fix.
