I've recently just aquired a 2 month old leopard gecko, which is also my very first pet reptile, therefore I have quite a few questions about their behaviours when they are this young and I'm really unsure if everything is okay with him.
Firstly, I'd like to know if it is normal for a recently aquired leopard gecko to not eat once he's moved in his new tank? I've aquired him yesterday, so he's been around for about 24 hours and he hasn't eaten yet (and I haven't seen him drinking water or getting calcium either, although I'm not sure if he's done so during the night).
Secondly, the leopard gecko doesn't move or explore much even though he is only 2 months old.
I've also noticed he likes to stay outside of his shelters in the middle of the temperature gradient, next to the glass. This is a bit unsusual to me as I've read that once they move to a new environment they like to be sheltered and not visible...
These are just a few of the things I've been unsure of since I've gotten him. I'd really appreciate if anyone could give me their tips and help me understand what is normal and what isn't.
