Survey the area around the cage for any negative stimuli. This may include loud noises, strong vibrations, strong drafts or high traffic. Reduce or eliminate any if found. Confirm proper temperature. If it is too hot up high, he will move to cooler temps. Be sure to gut load prey for 24 hours prior to offering to maximize nutritional value. Dust with a calcium supplement as well as a multivitamin regularly. If the behavior persists, consider an exam with your vet or a vet experienced in treating reptiles to diagnose and treat illness or injury.

Check the temperature of the enclosure. Low temps can affect appetite and activity in reptiles. Soak her in a warm 50/50 solution of water and unflavored PediaLyte for 20-30 minutes daily to treat or prevent minor dehydration. Make sure prey is appropriately sized, no bigger than the space between her eyes. If the behavior persists, have her physically examined by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating reptiles to diagnose and treat illness or injury.

Make sure his cage is large enough. A 20 gallon tank will be sufficient for now (if that's what you have) but as he grows, you will need to move him into a larger enclosure. Provide multiple hiding boxes and plants (real or fake) for privacy. You can also use cage wraps or backgrounds to provide additional privacy. He can come out of the cage also but be sure he does not get chilled or escape into a small crack or crevice.

Thanks for reaching out about Sierra. Vitamin A deficiencies can lead to skin problems, that can occlude the eyes or lead to secondary infections. Check environmental temperature and humidity. Misting with warm water might help alleviate adhered shed. If this doesn't work, a veterinary visit is recommended. They might be able to irritate the eyes to expel retained sheds or other material. Good luck.

There are several things that could be wrong with her like parasites, incorrect husbandry, respiratory infection or even metabolic bone disease. Since she is acting so sick and weak, i would try to get her to your vet as soon as possible. Your vet will be able to determine what is wrong with her and provide her with th proper medication if needed. He will also be able to provide fluids for her if needed. Finally, you vet should be able to help make sure your environment for her is set up properly and give you advice on what needs to be changed to help her heal quicker. I hope this helps and she starts to feel better soon.
