Welcome aboard!

By some chance had the leo who's not eating just shed? Did this leo eat the shed like they usually do?

Have you had leos longterm?

Please share photos of their enclosures.

  1. How about covering both sides of the enclosure with something like paper towels to provide additional privacy for the leo who's not eating (unless 1 of the sides is up against a wall)?
  2. What are your warm end and cool end ground temps?
  3. What are the dimensions of their enclosures?
  4. Have you 3 separate hides in each: warm dry, warm humid, & cool dry?

Might give that a try by covering the sides, the dimension is a 45x45x45 exo terra and yes its got the hides, worrying a little because of her age when shes ameant to be eating every day to grow
