Well my first question has to be what the setup is. What size is the tank, what are the ground temps and suppliments. And if the animal has a humid and cool hide. I know people hate hearing this but is there anyway you can contact a vet?

Well for now try to keep the tank as warm as you can, add in a second hide, just flip a tupaware container over and cut a hole in it.

thanks for the fast reply, i am expecting my heat tape today, as far as i know we are in a tropical country so the temp here is kinda hot already, but i bought some heat tape just to be sure. thanks again

There is a lot of missing information that can be detrimental to your geckos health. What are the temperatures? Does he have a humidity hide?
Are you giving him multivitamins? ex: herptivite
He needs multivitamins once a week.
If you are not giving him multivitamins he can be Vitamin A deficient which can cause problems with the eyes.

You should also have one plain calcium besides the Calcium w/D.
The calcium w/D should only be used once a week.

Temps should be 75-80 on the cool side 90-95 on the warm side.
