More info would be helpful so we can help you:
--Where did you get it from?
--How are you keeping it (substrate, temperatures on the ground)?

Good that you're using paper towel. Do you have a UTH? The warm end needs to be close to 95. Temperatures affect a gecko's appetite and ability to digest.

not at the moment i dont.....i am workin on it....i actually have the leo in a small like 5 gallon plastic tank, and she is sitting on my red tail boas aquarium, he is getting added humidity from her blocking some of the lid, and the leo is getting heat from my boas heat light.....just checked heat and its 84 above hide box, so prolly hotter inside....

That's not a very gecko friendly environment. Unecessary stress! There are care sheets available on this site. His housing situation needs to be corrected asap.

I walked past one of our snake cages carrying a gecko- she saw the boa with a rat in mouth, wigged and nearly took flight.
