Is my Day Gecko sick?
I noticed that she hasn't moved much in the last two days. Currently she is laying next to the meal warm dish I have for her. I have a humidifier that I run for 30 mins a day in the afternoon. I recently got a dozen crickets for her but I don't know if she ate any. I did put calcium on them for geckos however. I noticed that there are some brown winged small bugs in the terrarium that might have gotten in when I bought the crickets.
Anyway, can you tell from the photo and the details above if she might be sick?
I appreciate your response.

The picture doesn't do much to provide any information - is the animal emaciated? Are there signs of MBD? Shed issues? These aren't captured by the picture. I would say that any day gecko that remains on the ground for an extended period of time isn't at tip-top shape. A best case scenario is that it just shed and the humidity was low, so the skin on the finger and toe tips is still on there, preventing it from sticking to glass. A worst case scenario is that it's suffering from MBD or an internal complication, such as impaction. More information about the husbandry would be good as well; you can't expect 30 minutes of a humidifier to be adequate for an entire day just for starters.

why take the chance and have someone on the internet say shes fine? take her to a reptile vet if you are worried.
