Okay so I just bought my leopard gecko a few days ago and she's very lazy, she eats just fine though. I've never had a leo before and I've noticed she's got a runny nose, I'm starting to get worried! I have an under the tank heater and a heat lamp on during the day and I turn the lamp off at night, help please?

Sounds like it might be an upper respiritory infection, (caused by too much humidity) get her checked out at the vets if you can.

Could be a URI, but it could also be something a little more serious too...reptiles can get a form of "reptilian herpes" and although it's not common in leopard geckos, it's not unheard of. What are your temps on the hot side and cool side? You might want to consider increasing the temps a bit, and if it doesn't start improving in a few days, the gecko might need to see a vet and have the discharge coming from the nose cultured to make sure that it's really only a URI.
