I think my Leo is sick. It won't eat anything..And it was laying in it's cage with lame limbs..It's midnight so it should be awake and wanting to eat..I had to make it eat one meal worm..It's sleeping on my arm right now..And doesn't move very fast anymore..It's just a baby..I've tried controlling temps..But it still seems to not be doing so good..Any ideas?

What are your temps and what's the back story on your gecko? How long have you had it, has everything been normal to this point, etc?
I think the last time I checked the temps it was staying in the 80s on the heated end..I mist it to keep humidity in the tank for shedding on the one side..Fresh food and water..The calcium supplement..It hasn't been using the bathroom as good as it used to..And it was healthy up until a few days ago..It likes to jump from my hands and fall to the floor..I've caught it before, but sometimes it hits the ground before I can..It's been very lethargic..And I've had it for about 2 months.

You need to make sure the floor temp is in the low 90's on the warm side. I always recommend that people handle young geckos over something so they can't fall. They're fast and squirmy. A long fall can cause all kinds of internal injuries. Does it's belly look normal if you look underneath it?
