Leopard Gecko in Brumation?

[Chameleon Loco]

So during spring break which was around 12 days I had a little too much fun and got up late and went to bed late. My reptiles were were still on a 12/12 hour cycle but at different times of the day. Since then my leopard gecko has not eaten but is still drinking water and has not lost weight. She has never been breed so I dont think she is gravid. Could my different schedule have made her enter brumation?

If she's producing eggs if you gently lift her up and look at the lower belly you will likely be able to see them forming. If she is producing eggs and is close to laying them then it would explain why she isn't eating. If all you changed is the time that the lights went off and on it shouldn't have put her into brumation IMHO. Why don't you get a timer and then you won't have to worry about turning the lights on and off?

Ditto

Also if she hasn't met a male she wont lay. I don't belive lights would bother her. I don't use em personally. They don't need em just a Uth pad. Are u dusting the crickets? Does she have a moist hide?

I have a timer

I just have not set it up yet the instructions are kind of confusing it is a digital model. I provide her calcium and vitamins in a Gatorade cup and she licks them when she needs them, I replace them everytime I clean her cage. Yes she has one humid hide and one dry hide .

She still has not eaten

When I put a prey itemcin front of her she closes her eyes and turns away.

Update she has not eaten still

but she has shed two times and her weight is still the same. Could she be in a form of brumation or does she think it is winter for her and is trying to ride it out?

Still not eating

but she has still has not lost weight. Btw her black light burned out yesterday and the only spare light I have is a red one. What other lights can I use to just provide heat during the night for her cycle?
