Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Most obvious question; why did you take on an animal if you couldn't afford to care for it if it got sick?
Second most obvious question; she's very thin, is she eating and drinking?

Maybe you do have "vet experience" but this is obviously beyond the scope of your own home care. What happens if this is something contagious and it spreads to the other ten geckos you own? She needs vet attention now. Ask your parents for some money to take her to a good exotics vet.

Let me rephrase that: if you do not take this gecko to a good exotics vet as soon as possible, she will most likely die in your care, possibly from something completely treatable.

Your gecko is in terrible shape. First of all she is extremely thin and dehydrated. She also has stuck skin from an unsuccessful shed (or 3) on her eye(s). Some questions:
When is the last time your gecko ate and what did she eat?
How long has this animal been in your care?
Does your gecko have a humid hide in her tank?
Are you using bark as a substrate?
Do you supplement and if so, how much and how often?
Let's start with those.

first off i would take her off the bark and ether but her on tile or paper towel, next you need to do a fecal sample and get it to a good reptile vet to check (it shouldn't be expensive) you need to know if she has any parasites or the like. also keep her quarantined from the rest of your animals and give her a good soak in warm (not hot) water this should help her a little bit and hopefully hydrate her some more.
