Wow, you really need to get a thermometer, if she's not eating the temperature could be a very good reason. It needs to be at 88-90 degrees on one side of the tank, she also needs more than one hiding place, she needs one on the warm side and one on the cool side, also she needs a moist hide, thats a hiding place that has moist moss in it, it helps them to shed. And if its a half log that you have in there thats not probably not the best choice, leos like to feel very secure, the best hiding places are like small butter tubs or little tupperware containers with a hole cut either on the side or top. The pelleted leo food hardly ever works, leos dont recognize it as food unless it moves. They also probably wont eat every day unless she is a young one. Also what do you use for a substrate? If its sand then she could also be impacted which is another reason she wouldnt eat and yes that will kill her. On a last note being from the desert leos dont drink alot of water on their own, they get most of the moisture from the food, not saying dont keep water in the cage cause you definately need to and you may not see her drink but i assure you she more than likely is. And during the day yes she will probably stay in her house all day because they are nocturnal. You really need to read the caresheets at www.geckosetc.com or www.crestedgecko.com ----- coheed196
