i wonder if anyone can help, i was told about a poorly house gecko:

he is lethargic, and falls off the walls.

his tank is heated with a heat mat fixed to the back with a heat reflector on the back of this. he is fed on grade 4 crickets, supplemented with vitamin powder.

can anyone help?

ok, just did some research and have advised her to get some UV lighting and to give him a basking spot.

any more advice on how to give him a boost healthwise and to try to get him eating?

Does it look like he could be shedding?

i asked, but she couldn't tell, i'm not sure how long she has had him. his companion died i think, so it is more serious than him being a bit slow from shedding i imagine...
