Well, as a first step to recovery, let's get rid of the sand and get that gecko on some paper towels so it doesn't get impacted. (I get worried about that because I've had problems with that in the past.) Secondly, probably would be a good plan to help the gecko out with that leftover shed - moisten a q-tip and gently try to take care of it for her. At least it's not in a place where it's going to cut off circulation, but I'd imagine it annoys her quite a bit.



Is she eating ok? Obviously if she's pretty skinny and doesn't start fattening up in a hurry when offered food, then there's a trip to the vet in store for you, and even if you don't immediately do a full-on exam at the vet, a fecal might be a good idea - that way if there are parasites in the equation, you can find out about it quickly enough to give her a fighting chance!



Hopefully it's not all gloom and doom and she starts eating well for you.



Good luck .
