My leo isnt eating at all?

It is not uncommon for newly purchased reptiles to not eat for several weeks if not months. The stress with the move into a new environment is only compounded when people keep moving things around and trying to pick up the animal to see if something's wrong. If you just leave your animal alone, stress will drop and the animal should be receptive to eating again. This includes not looking at your animal for minutes at a time. Just leave it be and do periodic check ins. Other related problems could be a disease/parasite which can be checked for by a vet by doing fecal tests, MBD, or feeders which are too large for the animal.
