Come on people, I don't want her to die! I dunno what to do, but she WONT eat!

As long as she isn't losing weight and she is acting normally, I still wouldn't worry. Sometimes leos get bored with eating. Try enticing her with new food items. As long as she is normal in every other way I wouldn't worry. My male leo went 2 week with only a couple mealies in his tummy and was fine. He came out of it great and once again has become his usual piggy self.

yes, but she isn't acting normally... she doesn't move at all when I pick up her hide box. Normally she scurries to find another dark place.. and she gets scared sometimes when I pick her up, and tries to get away from me.. I don't know what I should do.

Well, if she is not eating AND lethargic then it sounds like she is sick. Do the whole routine, check your temps and make sure they are correct, check to see if she has plenty of hides, make sure her tank is in a quiet room, etc etc. If she is on sand or something remove her from it. If everything is okay, then I would take her to a vet or call a vet to ask what might be the problem. Good luck!!!
