dear Alicia R
in order to help i need to know a few things. What is the temp in the tank? What kind of bedding do you have in the cage ( bark, sand etc.) What are you feeding her? how long have you had her? Is she a baby or juvenile or adult? Is her tail getting thin or is it still fat? Do you see any poop in the cage? Do you dust the crickets with a vitamin/ calcium dust?
you can email me at djnelson@aquarealmaquarium.com
let her see how its like outside. if you can do that.
if the bones /joints are stiff or if its tail has become skinny and is it nipping you?it might have a bone diesease.you should feed it mealworms crickets super worms pinkies, baby mice. if it is fullgrown.if is a baby only feed it crickets and small meal worms .also feed it dry gecko formula wetted down.your gecko needs a heat lamp or its food could become impacted.small geckos need mineral sand.big geckos need desert gravel news paper,carpet grass for bedding.dont give them a hollow rock home .or a heat rock will burn them.plenty of water and soak you gecko in water every 2 weeks but dont drown it.if your gecko has 2 bumps under the tail in the pravate area its a male.if it dosen't it's female.go to where you got it for help.
well if you dont get another one she will probably die cause they can get lonely adn the vet wouldnt do anyhting other then what i am tellnig you now, they arent that expensive so save up a week's worth of money or start diggin her grave. adn letting her starve herself is kinda cold hearted dontcha think??
my big brother had a leproad gecko he only could afford one too.
his always looked kinda lonley too you want to make sure he has lots of hiding spaces leapord geckos LOVE to hide and my brother had a big stick in there that you can get from out side and
make sure you play with him and hold him they love that. I have a strong love for all animals so i really hope he gets better!GOOD LUCK!
