i have a fairly young leopard gecko, probably less then 2yrs of age and for about the past 3 weeks shes been really dorment, hasnt eaten in over a month. she seems to be in alot of pain, she drags her body with her front legs and doesnt seem to be able to use her back legs. shes in the process of sheding but she seems to be having alot of trouble tryin to shed it. i have her in a 55gal tank, with a substrat of sand, a rock cave for her to sleep in and a tree branch for her to crawl on, with a 100watt heat lamp keeping the tank at about 85-90 degrees. she has a diet of meal worms and crickets, theres constantly water in her bowl and i spray her tank with tap water about everyday to make sure she doesnt get too hot n she seemed to enjoy it. im really worried something is seriously wrong with her, can you plez give me advice to what you think may be wrong with her and what i can do to help her?
