Question
Hello, I have moved my 2 leopard geckos into a larger exo terra tank obv for more space and the fact it is a better tank than the original. Since moving my female Leopard gecko has been eating but not as much, but the male hasnt eaten in 4 days and just ignores crickets/locusts, is this normal?

Answer
Hello Rob,

Yes, typically when you relocate reptiles they are very sensitive to environmental changes.  Especially leopard geckos!  They are extremely observant & they notice any little change around them in their tanks, as well as the entire room.  
I would give them a few days to a week or so, & they should return to normal pretty soon.
