My leopard gecko might be sick but I'm not sure. He doesn't seem to open his eyes often, or one eye will be open. I think some of the skin constricted around one of his fingers because the end is missing! Will it grow back? I thought I knew what I was doing but I'm starting to worry. I'm not sure that he's eating enough. He has trouble completely shedding. I feed him meal worms and change his water every day, I give him vitamins, I keep his tank between 70-80. What am I doing wrong? I feel like a horrible person. He's not very old, I got him at a reptile convention and the kid said that he was maybe a year and I know that they can live up to 20 years in some cases. He's not inactive, sometimes he'll climb up on his hidey log or sit in his water bowl. He's definitely moving to different spots in his terrarium. I want to take him to a vet but since it's 10 o'clock at night I thought I'd start here. He shook his head pretty fast earlier and kept his steadiness, which is a good sign, I don't believe that he's too thin. His skin seems to have darkened some as well. Please please please help me to help him. Thank you!

-Emily
