Default Leo acting strange?

Last night i put some small loucusts in my leos viv for the first time, but all he seemed to do was walk over to it sniff and then lick it but then walk into his hot hide.
He was alot paler than usual so i think he might be shedding also as he was walking he kept lifting his arm and shaking it, my hubby thought maybe he had a bit of loose skin that was bothering him under his arm but didnt see anything.

As siders says.
When shedding Leos often won't eat for a day or two. Plus if she is not used to locust and has been fed only on mealworms then she might not recognise them as food yet. Persevere again when she has shed.
