Some leos won't eat before/after shedding. Is he going to shed, or has he just shed?

Sometime it just happens.
Sometimes gecko's can go a few weeks without eating for no apparent reason.
Main things to look for are stressors, physical or mental.
Any injuries? Any stressor cagemates? Any change in routine? Any change in enclsoure?
etc etc...

Re: amount of food
he shed about 4 days ago but the ate the same day his shed came off, he has always mainly eaten when he sheds..there has been a bit of a change in his viv i put a big log in for him to clime on but thats about it... i have checked him over and he seems perfectly healthy to me ... there isnt anything else i can think will bother him... my temputure is also monitored and kept the same sumtimes it gose either down or up but thats mainly because he makes the probe move when he digs
