odd behavior

I got a new crested at a show. he's just under a year old (his birthday is in may) and I got a new cage for him and the works. When I first got him he was doing stuff like sleeping on the front door glass pane. he did that for two or three days in a row. its been two weeks since I bought him and now he is hiding up in the corner not moving. its been like that for a week maybe. and he is all scrunched up. his cage is beside the older female's cage and I guess they can look in on each other. he is also hiding in the corner away from her, and I noticed her hanging arround the side of his cage (while she wasn't awol)

also... he isn't dead. its not like he hasn't moved at all... its just so little. he moves to eat and drink but not much else. actually nothing else. could the older girl be freaking him out that much?

i'll put a devider between the two tanks and see if I can get a picture of him in inaction :\

Thanks for the help.

First you should have new arrivals quarintined in seperate rooms. I would also get a fecal, if he is eating but is lethargic sounds like he might have a bad bout of something. I have all my Crested Geckos in view of each other and there really doesn't seem to be too much stress caused by the others. However stress is a possibility.

Will he hunt crickets? And are all your variables correct? I don't like buying from shows unless its a specialty breeder or a hobbyist. The care some of these guys get during and before the shows is enough to ware them out for a few months. Keep an extra close eye on him and make sure hes getting his supplements.

I have a male that is very slow, eats barely anything, and just likes to hang out in one spot all night. He has been like this since I got him, and all his tests were negative.
