Default New to the Site, I have a Few Tokay Questions

Hey there, I love this site you have here! I wish I would of found it earlier! I Have recently picked up a Tokay at a local pet store, Id say he is 6Inch Long from tail to the nose, I will get some pics,, im just wondering if its normal not to see him eating? since i bought him I have not seen him eat once. I Always have some crickets in there with Cricket food do they don't eat my Tokay, He is always out at night, Climbing the cage, I have him in a 20 gal tank with a infrared heat lamp, and a UVB bulb for the daytime. He is VERY active, I have had to take him out once and he Bites and barks alot, And once he got out of the cage lol! But back to my Question, I have not seen him eat, and theres alot of places for the crickets to hide, so its hard to keep a count of them in there, And he even looks like hes getting Skinny... Is it normal when you move him around alittle that he will not eat for a few days? Or do they do most of there eating at nights??? I just had this problem with a bearded dragon.. except he wasnt eating at all! and he passed away! It s shame... but now im getting worried about this guy! Can someone give me a Idea? With your Tokay's do you seel them eat? or do thye usally eat at night?
Thanks PPL and I will be gosting some pics soon!

When I feed my tokays they start eating right away. You just said you recently got yours so maybe it is taking it a while to get used to its new surroundings. If it is wc they are a little more shy about eating around people at first and probably eat at night. Sometimes it takes them a couple weeks to get settled in.

Tile is great, if your lizards are indigenous to your bathroom
