I bought a female Whiptail recently, but she doesn't seem to be eating. What should I do?

Not eating? How can you tell? Also, which species of whiptail?

If by not eating you mean snuffing the foods provided to it, then I'd wait. Whiptails aren't known to be picky eaters, but they might not be accustomed to the new foods provided to it. I'd contact the breeder or LFS you secured it from and ask what (if any) food was provided. Otherwise, I'd say the guy should be fine with a steady diet of algae for now.
