Hi guys, im new to this site, but i have been a reptile owner for about 2 years now.

My female leopard gecko which i have had for 13 months now has been eating fine up until early November. I just cant seem to get her interested in food.
I have her on reptile carpet, the temps are fine, (30-31 degrees Celsius in the warm end and around 25 degrees c in the cool end). I use a heat mat and have 3 hides, one in the warm side, one in the cool and a humid hide in the middle. The tank is a 3ft vivexotic vivarium and she has been in that for around 7 months now. Note, she has been eating fine in this setup up until very recently.

Moving onto her behaviour. As soon as i put crickets in she used to immediately see them and begin stalking them, now i put them in and she doesn't even look at them. Her eyes seem to look cloudy (compared to my other 6 month old gecko kept in a separate tank).
One more thing, around 10 mins after i turn the viv lights off she started scratching at the glass, im not sure why that is considering she is in a very spacious vivarium.

I have noticed her tail getting slightly skinnier but it is still reasonably fat, her
skin seems to be looking quite dull recently too.

Please help!

There are several reasons that can cause her not to eat. Winter slow down, ovulating, going into shed. It can also be that she is not warm enough. 30-31 is a bit cold. Raise the temps up 32-35 on the warm end and see if she starts eating soon.

Cloudy eyes are a concern.... Could you try posting a clear, close up picture of her eyes?

I got some pictures here, but its night time here in the UK so the only light i had was from the lamp and the pics haven't turned out too great. I can get some more up tomorrow afternoon as long as its a reasonable day.

Bare in mind i am comparing these eyes to my younger leo on which i can clearly see the "pupil"? and for my eldest its quite hard to make out. Below are some pics, some of her general body and a few of her close up. She just kept moving! Couldnt keep her still for once lol!

Yeah sorry about that. She seems to be eating ok now, i gave her a couple of waxworms to try and bring her appetite back and so far it is working. Thanks for the help guys.
