Leopard Geckos will eat their shed skin to gain some nutrients. When they are not eating their skin Leopard Geckos will eat an assortment of insects like crickets and mealworms. Leopard Geckos will store fat in their tails just in case they can’t find food, so a healthy leopard Gecko will have a nice fat tail. They can drop their tail if threatened, but fortunately for them it will grow back.
