How is your tank set up and what are the temperatures in it?

my tank is set up correctly. i have had my leo for almost a year and researched everything before i got her so it is not that. she has been doing great until now

Of course you think the tank is set up correctly, if not you wouldn't keep your gecko that way. But it's quite irritating when you try to help people and they just anwer that. It may not be your case, but I've been surprised several times about what people consider "a correct setup".

So please, be a little more descriptive. Temps? Hides? Substrate? Tank size? Cage mates?... Also, do you remember changing anything when that behaviour started? Location of the tank? Decoration?

How often do you give her calcium and vitamins?

Understand that with just a "It's not eating and lethargic" there isn't much we can do.

Ovulation sometimes keep females from eating but that wouldn't explain the lethargy and dehydration.

If you say she's pooping, I would keep a stool and take it to the vet to check for parasites, just in case.
