Well, Here is my little devil, Spirit. He is about 1 year old, male and a Leucisitc Leopard Gecko, I go thim 40 Pounds last Sunday. He's not the best feeder, but hopefully he will settle in and eat on his own accord. I have to feed him for the time being. Well here he is and the vivarium (18"x18"x18");

Nice but he look like a hybino strain to me he has a spotted head and has tail bands two things a patternless leo doesn't have seen best in picture two. Patternless have no spot on head or tail they are plane though and though just vary in color.

Still not a bad thing not for that price if he was a patternless he'd be a albino patternless coz he has red/pinkish eye's.

Ok, Well Im not bothered about what he is. No Offence to you. I just want him bloody eating. I have been offering him mealworms and crickets, at a varied size. And i actually have to force feed him, Which yes i know, is probably not helping the situation out. So my next test is waxworms.

Hes probably so bloody cheap coz hes the runt and has a hump on his back, has one of his toes infected because shite shed and not eating. Silly me, Was to busy thinking about my girlfriend going back, was just liek a cheering up present kind of thing.

I dont think you need to be force feeding him, looking at his tail he has plenty of weight on him. You've only had him a few days, give him time to settle in, just keep offering different livefood as said allready. He may of just been kept on newspaper before and just needs to get used to his new substrate and surroundings. Do you leave the food in there for him overnight?

In The Pet Shop, He Was on Repti Carpet. I Have had him for over 3 weeks. And I have taken him of the sand, and is now on newspaper. And theres a bigger thread on this in the same forum.
