Yes you should feed your Leopard Gecko wax worms if hes getting to skinny. However, you shouldn't always feed it as his main food. They can get obeyed and be addicted to wax worms. This is bad. So, only feed your Leopard Gecko 3 times a day, in the morning, in the evening, and in the night. If your Leopard Gecko refuses to eat it store the wax worm back into its container.

Can a leopard gecko live without a heating pad but with just a light?
Leopard geckos should be given a temperature gradient of 80F with a 90F hot spot during the day, and can drop to 70F with an 80F hot spot at night. So, unless your house is 80F at night, the answer is no. Nor should you ever use a heat pad, cord, or heat tape without a reliable thermostat to connect it to. Proper equipment will keep your animal safe and healthy. Leopard geckos may live for over 30 years with proper care--$120 for proper heating equipment and thermostat is not exactly a huge expense for the life of your animal. If you cannot afford it, don't get a leopard gecko.

What does it mean when leopard gecko digs in the cage?
Well, you're probably in for a surprise. In other words, your leopard gecko is pregnant! If you've never had any other leopard geckos in the aquarium (or wherever you keep it) then the egg will never hatch, it's just a cycle some leopard geckos go through, and is not uncommon. No need to worry, just remove the egg; but if you have had another leopard gecko in the cage before, it was probably a male, even if you thought otherwise, as this can be tricky. If this is so, you should put a small container of fresh aspen shavings or the moss you can get, but not the sand (this can be hazardous for baby leopard geckos). Hopefully, your gecko will lay her egg in the container, and you should remove that and place them in an incubator (directions at http://www.albeysreptiles.com/incubate-eggs.htm). Continue to follow the directions at that website, and you will find what you need. If the eggs are not in the container, carefullyremove the eggs by taking all that is under it and gently placing it in the container. Try to incubate them, following the directions given earlier, but it will normally be too late by then. Hope your hatchlings-to-be will do well!
Is it normal for a leopard gecko to not eat and sleep a lot in the days following a shed?
Yes it is completely normal :) I own a leopard gecko, and before and after he sheds and doesn't eat at all. Mine sometimes doesn't eat for a weak and is completely fine :) and yes it is normal for them to sleep a lot in the day time, they are nocturnal creatures. They sometimes sleep in the night too! :)
