my youngest leo argee wanders around her terrarium with her eyes closed. she uses all her hides and such but here is the weird thing she always looks like she is sleep walking around she does open her eyes when i handle her to feed her a soak her( i will explain further on) but only from time to time in her terrarium. Now she went into winter slow down i believe ( stopped eating regularly then all together) and has been the same way ever since. I have been feeding her Gecko soup once a day as well as a warm soak for 10 min every day. I was wondering what is with her always having her eyes closed and as well as how do i get her back on the feeders.
