Why is my leopard gecko eating and pooping less but seems fine?

Question

I have a 1.5 year old leopard gecko named Scoot. He has been eating and pooping less frequently but I can't find anything wrong with his habitat. Besides the symptoms described he seems fine and has been acting alert and energetic. What could be the cause of this change in his behavior, and how do I get him to eat? Pet's info: Reptile | Gecko | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 5 months old

Thanks for reaching out regarding Scoot. First and alway, investigate environmental conditions including heat support and temperature, humidity, UV exposure and nutrition. Intestinal infections or parasitic problems can manifest for years prior to becoming symptomatic. This is probably not a change in behavior, but clinical signs of illness and should be investigated by a veterinarian, if no husbandry deficiencies can be identified.
