going on a trip, will my leopard gecko be okay?

I have a soccer tournament and I have to leave the city. I'm gone this Friday evening ad I'm coming back Sunday night. I am leaving my leo with a water bowl that I emptied and filled with water at noon on today(Friday). My gecko is 1 year and 3 months old. He is healthy and is not sick and his tail is fat. I am panning on feeding him 3 hornnworms before I leave. Will he okay with no food and just the bowl of water I filled today?

I went camping last week and was gone from 7am Thursday morning until 7pm Sunday and left my gecko home alone, she was perfectly fine. I've left her alone for a few weekends since I've had her with no issues. If you are worried, you can always leave extra water - I use a plastic lid from a coconut oil container as it holds more water than her dish but isn't deep enough to cause a hazard. A peanut butter jar lid would probably work as well as long as it's well washed. I also always leave her some meal worms in an escape proof dish but she never eats them so that probably isn't important.

I also have a humid hide that I sprayed with water just now and it is always humid for a few days and during the humid period, the humid hide has water droplets on the top and side, which would provide my leo with an extra source of water.

Your Gecko will be 100% fine. Double check his temperatures are correct before you leave.

Good Luck in the tournament.
