I know how you feel, my male basilisk that i have had for a year had a lethargy problem where he wouldnt move all day. id come home at night and hed be in the same spot and id wake up and hed be in the same spot. He even does that to this day. But it sounds to me like yours isnt getting enough vitamins because of the eye problem. i have heard that a lack in vitamin A can cause eye problems, so try to feed your crickets nothing but carrots, sweet potatoes and tomatoes. but dont give her too much vitamin A because large doses can be harmful. i have tried so many things to get mine to eat (but he doesnt look skinny) and none of the appetite stimulants work for me. i have to hand feed my dude every day, because he has no interest in food what so ever. buy some waxworms to fatten her up, they usually love those guys. also dont handle her because that could also be stressing her out and causing problems. wait till shes better before you handle her, but i dont reccommend doing it anyways. just keep trying and spend time researching. www.anapsid.org is a great place to find info. on herp problems, etc. good luck!
