So my Leo seems to be sad. I don't think she is sick or anything because she has pooped fine a couple times and all her cricks were gone when I came home, but she just seems sad.. can it be weather change? Or do you think she possibly knows I brought home another gecko and is jealous..

Go see your vet. Depression is a treatable condition. While we don't know for sure what causes depression, it may be related to imbalanced serotonin levels in the brain. She probably needs a prescription for Zoloft, which can correct this imbalance. Then she will be a happy smiley gecko again, and not feel so left out and alone. Of course, you should also get her a good gecko therapist. Look for someone with experience in hemipene envy, waxworm addiction, dysfunctional breeding groups, and post-traumatic egg disorder, as these dynamics are often contributing factors in gecko depression.
