A: LEP NOT EATING!

Well how long has it been. They can go 5-7 before you should worey. Even then they can go as long as there tail is fat, but if it doesn't eat in 1-2 weeks then something is wrong and you should take it to the vet.> Is the it the right temp.? (85-95 degress f.) It is probley from the move. That usually stresses them. They are easely stressed. It should eat in a day or two. You might wan't to use appitite simulator that you buy from a pet shop. Good luck

Changing places usually does stress lizards. I would not recommend any handling for awhile. Give him a few days, and if he DOES NOT show any signs of improvement, I would take him to a qualified reptile vet. asap.
