Albino leopard gecko help

Hi,
I recently purchased a leopard gecko an need some advice on the care needed. It's a hatchling chocolate albino leopard gecko.
I have the warm moist an cool hide photo of tank attached. It's a 18"18"18" size tank. Using easy liner an slate. Slate is over the heat mat last four tiles at the top left corner. Is there any other lighting I need? I don't want her to get MBD an die. I offered nutri grubs black soldier worms an crickets. But won't eat them an no stool. Any advice on sticking with zoomed reptitherm UTH an zoomed reptitemp digital thermostat. Or should I go with a lighting. Have the heat mat on 24/7 an that's pretty much it. Just want advice on someone who had success with a good setup with these little guys. I have a bearded dragon but his enclosure is setup well.

How small is the gecko, can you post pics and where did you get it from ? I have just a normal one [ no morph ] and I have a heat pad from a drug store under the tank , it covers about 18" X 12" so that part of the moist hide sits on it and part of the dry hide. I used a basking/heat bulb but no uvb but after a while I stopped using it . She's has been eating since the day I got her and has a good appetite , strikes like a rattlesnake. I don't use any tile, just layers of paper towel with extra in her moist hide. She goes poo in the same spot every time so it's super easy to clean, I just fold the paper towels in that spot and lift out when she poos .
 
I have an albino leopard gecko too and she wasn't doing very well in her enclosure until I got rid of the extra decor, it doesn't look that good but it works. my point is I think you should put the middle hide to the side so your leo can crawl and explore more. My albino does fine with the small lamp, but I also use the heat pads, I don't think you really need any more lighting since leos are nocturnal anyways. hope this helps

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
