Ok. Here are some things to try. First off, the heat lamp. These do leopard geckos NO good. They need belly heat to digest their food and they do not like bright light AT ALL. You need to get an under tank heater and hook it up to a Lutron lamp dimmer from Lowe's or Home Depot. The FLOOR temp on the hot side should be 90-94, cool side in the upper 70s. If you are using Dial-type thermometers, throw them away because they are total junk. This is what I use to measure my temps http://www.petco.com/product/115362...epti Temp Digital Infrared Thermometer-115362 You need to get the FLOOR temp, NOT the air temp, so point it like one inch from the floor. Also you are not supplementing her properly. Get some Repashy Superfoods Calcium Plus and dust every single insect she eats with it. Also, gutload crickets and mealworms with Fluker's High Calcium Cricket Diet and the gel water cubes. Repashy Superfoods bug burger, super load and hydro load are also really good for gutloading. Also, you are not feeding her enough. My leo is WAY less than 8 months old and can EASILY eat a dozen mealworms a day. Leave a dish of mealworms that are dusted with the Repashy in her cage. I also hand feed mine. When hand feeding, make sure everything is dusted and feed her until she decides she's had enough. Leos will stop eating when they aren't hungry anymore. ALWAYS leave a dish of dusted mealworms in the cage, so she can eat when she's hungry. If you have other questions, feel free to message me.
