Introduction Leopard geckos are ectothermic animals that require specific environmental conditions. They can go without eating for a varying length of time based on their age, weight, and health. With proper hydration, an adult leopard gecko can survive up to two weeks without food. However, it is important to monitor their behavior closely as prolonged fasting can lead to serious health issues. Leopard geckos have a relatively slow metabolism that allows them to conserve energy for long periods. When their prey is scarce, they enter a state of torpor where their metabolic rate slows down further reducing their need for food. This adaptation enables leopard geckos to survive in the harsh desert environment where food availability is limited. Interestingly, leopard geckos store fat in their tails which serve as a reserve during times of food scarcity. Therefore, it is essential not to handle them unnecessarily as this can cause stress leading to tail loss or reduced fat…
