why is my leopard gecko hiding so much?

[gray shuttle]

Ever since I got my leopard gecko, she's been hiding and not coming out, sh switches hides in the night but she won't come out of them, idk if she's drinking either, can anyone pls help me

how long ago did you get her?

[ashen creek]

if you don’t got her recently it’s most likely due to seasonal changes since their metabolism slows down they will refuse food and they overall get less active during winter

to help find the issue i would recommend that you check your husbandary data (refered to our server guide)

humidity, temperatures (hot side+ basking surface) these are things that affect the apetite and activity of your gecko

if you have up to date care and your gecko was alwys behaving like that it‘s most likely just how your gecko is.

some are just less active then others some tolerate handleing and some don‘t

if they r striking on food i would keep an eye on their weight

One of the things that I have noticed is that, even though everything about the tank has the correct parameters if there is not enough cover, they will rarely come out of their hides. See if you can get more ground cover in.

[ashen creek]

that might be the case as well ... adding more clutter might encourage her to be more active since she has enough coverage she will feel safer when moving around, if not it's just her personality. if you want to i can look over your tank set up to give you some ideas on what to change if you have no ideas yet

sorry for ping tho

[delicate estuary]

All good man. I’m fine with pings.

If you’re fine with live plants, try a pothos. It takes a bit for them to get to the right size, but when they do it’s dang near perfect.

we have to disclaim every advice if we are not a qa by putting nqa behind our advice :>
