I have a leopard gecko that i adopted 3 days ago and, even the first day i got her, she would puke up all the crickets she had eaten that day and/or the day before, she also hasnt been moving much and shes nit coming out of her hide at night like she did the first 2 nights i had her, i dont know if she has an illness or what, but she did look a little pale compared to the other geckos in her cage at petco, she is a juvenile, i think she is 3-4 months old, she lives in a 10 gallon terrarium and her whole cage is about 80 degrees, any help on what to do would be would be greatly appreciated

The picture i added is of the first day i had her and she puked up her crickets

Geckos do sometimes vomit if they eat too much. If she's vomiting every night, she will need a vet visit.

If you got the new gecko the same place you got the previous gecko, it's likely that the new one has a parasite as well.

I had returned him to petsmart and then got Rango, and the other day i went to petsmart and asked about my old gecko and they said that they think he was part albino so he was sensitive to white light and that they have him under a red lightbnow and hes doing great

Some albino geckos have trouble with bright lights. The only way a gecko can be "part albino" is if it has a gene for albino (that's called "het for albino" since it has 1 gene for albino but needs 2 genes to look like an albino). To the best of my knowledge, a gecko that's het for albino will not have eyes that are any more sensitive than a non albino.
