Unfortunately, that pic of red spots does look to me like a serious kidney infection. A vet visit is mandatory. I would also recommend feeding some turkey baby food w/ calc and vit powder mixed in, dropper fed the day before the vet visit, b/c a fecal will be very helpful. Kidney infection in geckoes does not carry a very good prognosis, Im sorry. It may also have other problems, most likely some underlying nutrition problem which allowed the infection to take hold. That gecko needs antibiotics, possibly deworming, hydration, and maybe more. I recommend keeping them at the slightly higher temp mentioned earlier, in the 80-90 range (cold/hot) and increase humidity. You can do this easily by keeping them on paper towels, damp, and cover half the tank with saran wrap to keep the humidity in. And dear god, follow strict quarantine procedures. You may want to quarantine the other gecko as well, since it has possibly been exposed. good luck -----
