I have had the gecko for a few weeks. When I first got him, at night he would climb all over the glass, the branches and wood that I have provided, as well as the magnetic rocks in his enclosure. He is on a diet of CGD and I feed him this three times a week (approx).
The temp. is kept anywhere from 70 to 80 degrees, I do not use a heat pad or lighting to heat up his tank. I keep the humidity at about 60. He shed about a week-two weeks ago, and for the past little while he has not been climbing. He just sits on the bottom of his enclosure. I'm starting to get worried about him! Is he okay?

Check his toes for leftover shed, you might need to help him out a little, a pair of really good tweezers should be able to get any leftover skin off, put a little water on him to help soften the leftover shed so you can pull it off. I had to help my little guy get a few toe skins off recently. Always check after they shed, make sure they got everything off.
