Hmm, okay. Here's a checklist for you, try and get back to us on what you've got.

Heatpad
Light
Calcium dish
Water
Food
Humid Hide
Normal Hide
Paper towels
Probe thermometer

Now, I know some of those things we can see, but just think of that as an external list. That gecko looks older than I had though. What I would do is take out both hides, and give him something more spartan, like blacked-out tupperware containers, or some other type of thinner container. I'd also move one hide onto the warm side, and the other onto the cold side. I'd then put the food, water, and calcium in the middle, that way, if it needs to go to the cold side to thermoregulate, it will stumble across these three things.

In the picture with the mealworms in the bottom left, they look shiny. Now, I don't mean any disrespect, but you don't have the food IN the water, do you? It may just be flash, but I just wanted to be sure.

I'd try getting some different type of bowl for him, like the previous post said. Maybe a transparent ash tray? That, with a soda bottle cap of calcium sand and a shallow dish of water should be okay.

Has your gecko pooped at all? Any diarrhea? I'd still try and see if the baby food deal works out, that or some vanilla ensure, for the vitamins. Just drop either on his nose, like the others have said.

Also, have you tried any other prey items like superworms, silk worms, or pheonix worms? I tried all three with my gecko who just passed due to crypto. None worked, but you may have better luck.

I'd just try to be as gentle as possible right now. Spartan quarters, regular temperature monitoring, and the forerunner to force feeding.

Good luck, and let us know.
