The way it went for that, I would think it would just about eat anything soon as it moved it struck, coiled and rolled. Do you always feed in a separate tank?

Who knew geckos were native to New Jersey and that corn snakes ate them in the wild there?

You should feed live mouse pinks.

Also take the next poop to the vet for a fecal exam. Geckos are not captive bred (that species) and may carry parasites as mentioned already.

You may be able to get the guys started with a live small peach fuzzy. It will move around a little more than a pinky, and your guys looks like he is not adverse to striking at prey.

Corns are not nocturnal.

Do you have any reason for it to come out? Are you using a heat lamp? Mine comes out and basks all the time.

Throw a basking spot in the mix. Corns are diurnal I believe... you should see a decent amount of activity throughout the day.
