eyes closed all time???

Well as some of you may know i got to babies a week ago about. The male has finally ate! The female now which was the healthy looking one, is now showing some weird habits as well as still not eating. Her color is off now she was white with black spots, now her base is kinda purple/gray but doesn't look like a shed. She also seems to walk around with her eyes closed a lot of the time. She had a fat tail when she came now it is skinny as the males. Do we think she is going into a shed? She sometimes will do this yawn too. I removed all crickets in cage last night in case of it causing stress. I know im a worry wart but never had a youngster like this.

Excessive yawning can mean an infection. Possibly of the respiratory tract that is likely affecting her eyes and throat/mouth, if so. If you can, consider a vet visit for a professional's diagnosis and treatment.

Are the light levels too high? Is she an albino?

she is a SS but i remember breeder telling me possible het tremper albino.. could she have albino eyes?

After watching her for a good 20 min its got to be a RI shes breathing a lot quicker and forced unlike the other 3 geckos i have. Wondering if i should just up cage temps to see if i can work it outta her. Its winter here and new animal, i cant imagine it being very helpful to take her out of cage into cold to go see a vet. Maybe ill get another UTH and stick to side of tank controlling cage temps a little more.

If she's het albino, she does not have albino eyes.

Whatever you decide, make sure she does not become dehydrated. While excessive humidity can make the condition worse, microclimate is necessary to ensure adequate hydration. Perhaps make sure her humid hide is kept warm enough (but not too hot, either).
