I bought a leo from Albey and I recieved it on 12/29. I have her setup fine,15 quart sterilite tub, two hideboxes,hot end at 88-91, cool end at 78-81, a small water dish, and a small dish of supplement, newspaper for substrate.

Since she arrived, she has not eaten at all. No crickets, mealworms, waxworms nothing at all. Now, I thought the problem had to do with the lighting I have on her because I need to use redlamps here because the room my geckos are in is a little harder to keep warm. But all my other geckos dont have any problem with the red lamp.

Now the one thing I have noticed with since she came in is that she has a bizzare walk. I am not sure exactly how to explain it but her legs are fine, she just kind of throws or swings her head in a strange way that makes her seem a little off balance when she runs from me.lol. She hasn't spent much time out of her hide boxes so I have not had all that much time to observe it, but mostly when I see her she is running from my hand as I change the newspaper or add water, something like that. I am beginning to think something might have happened to her during shipping.

Thanks for any advice

Phil
