Phil-

You probably have nothing to worry about, although you didn't say how long it's been since you got her. Your setup sounds good, she's probably just taking awhile to get adjusted. Be sure to talk to whoever you bought her from, and ask what she is used to eating. Some leos won't take mealworms and only like crickets. I'll bet a few waxworms would get her going, but don't let her get addicted to them. As far as the walking is concerned, I've had a few that really look comical, but I think it's just the way they are. My male likes to keep his head low to the ground and swing his tail from side to side, like he's on the prowl or something. He's healthy, and I'm not worried. As long as the legs look straight and strong, I wouldn't worry. If the legs were weak or bowlegged, I would worry about a calcium deficienty. If its' only been a week or two, she'll probably start eating soon. If it's been longer than that, I'd contact the breeder and ask for their advice.
