help! my leopard gecko is really sick, we've had it about 1 1/2 years and it started about 2 months ago. we had a light he didn't like, and became very lathargic and would not eat. he did continue to shed about once a week. however i noticed that the skin around the eyes, was not comming off i did try to help by pulling at it, but thought i might pull the eye ball from the socket. i recently began putting warm saline water drops in the dead skin around the eye. it looks better, but she still can not see. her tail has shrunk considerably, and she contiues to not eat. she is drinking alot of water, but with every passing day, she gets worse. when i check on her, she is very weak and fraile i feel she is suffering. what can i do??? i have alredy tried to hand feed her meal worms and crikets, but she will not eat anything we think she may be eating her skin, and thats why she was still pooping, untill recently 3 days or so.
