He's most likely died.. They don't hibernate...especially in captivitly when conditions are always the same..You should never mess with wild reptiles or animals..They stress alone could've killed him..</description>

Belly up geckos aren't hybernating... They don't hybernate at all, but their metabolism will slow down in the fall, into a process called "brumation." It is too early for that

In the future, please return wild animals to the wild. If you want a pet lizard, get a captive bred from a reputable breeder. Those wild caughht hardly survive the stress...</description>

Geckos don't really hibernate at all, and they certainly don't do it to the extent of not being able to be roused.  He probably starved to death, two crickets in a week is nowhere near what a baby needs to eat, he should have been eating a half dozen crickets a night.  

Pick up the body.  If he is stiff and unresponsive, and his eye sockets appear sunken in, he is dead.  If he moves, he's alive.  Simple as that.  If you can't make the call, put the body outside somewhere.  If he's a live, he'll run off.  If not... the carrion eaters will take care of him.

Next time don't keep wild animals captive- they don't like it.  Very few wild reptiles survive more than  few days in captivity.</description>

Wait a couple of days and look for signs. If he starts drying up, he's probably dead.</description>
