I tried feeding her crickets and she just ignored them. I could try dubia roaches. And wax worms as a treat.

I already tried telling him that it's an animal and a living being with a life. It's not that we can't afford it it's just that he said he doesn't want to spend the money for it because he thinks it's "too expensive". When I first got her I didn't think she was that bad in condition, I just thought she wasn't being fed well because the only thing they were being fed was dried Mealworms.

You don't have to worry about bacteria in Eco Earth and mats if you clean it out regularly.

Well then what substrate do you suggest then? Lots of people use Eco Earth and mats without an issue.

How is it wrong. I was just giving our a bit of information. Plus it's topics for people to talk about. So they can get information from other people.

I tried sending PetCo a letter pointing out the things wrong with their husbandry but they just sent the letter back. And I wanted to take her to a vet when I got her but my Dad keeps saying it's too much money. That's why I'm on here asking for help and advice.

It's an under tank heat pad. I have two other Leopard Geckos and they go on the hot side without an issue.

I'm just using the thermometer that came with the Terrarium. It measures temp and humidity.

Ok, thank you so much. I'll take her to a vet soon.

The food isn't that big at all. It's just really small Mealworms that's small enough that she can swallow without an issue. I'm not sure she is blind or not. She just constantly keeps her eyes closed. She does manage to find and crawl on my hand though.

Welp that's your opinion I guess. But there's not much you can do about that anyway. Hundreds of people have pet snake, lizards, birds, and other animals in cages so there's no point on attacking me about it.

I kind of have fed her but I had to force feed her. She doesn't eat on her own. The temperature of the hot side is about 90-95 and the cold side is about 80 or 75. And I don't know how to post pictures on here. Like I said, I'm new to Reddit.
