I’ve ordered her lights should she be okay until it gets here? She hasn’t eaten anything today I’ve tried hand feeding as well as letting her try to chase them she just lets the crickets eat her unless I stop them the only time she seems okay is out if her tank she has had a dropper if water she seemed more thirsty today then usual

The tail looks constricted by an incomplete shed. You can try fixing the problem by soaking her tail daily and trying to loosen the dead skin by rubbing gently with a soft toothbrush, but it's likely that the tip of the tail will eventually die and fall off.

She should be okay until the lights arrive. If you have any good, sunny weather, take her outside to bask (supervised).

If soaking and the toothbrush doesn’t help is there anything else? Sadly it’s to cold for her to go outside or sit in the window sill it’s around 30 degrees where I’m at

Fair enough; she should still be fine until the lights arrive.

If there's something else that can be done for the tail, I don't know what that would be. Next time she sheds that area, keep an eye out to see if the constricting old shed comes off too.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
