I think you need to get her to a vet, IDK what that is going on with her head but it doesn't look like just stuck shed, and that degree of weight loss is really dramatic.

I'd try some "saunas" with room temperature pedialyte in them just to see if you can keep her going till you can get her into a vet hopefully with some experience with crested geckos (they can be hard to find). Herp Vet Connection is where I'd start trying to find a vet.

Best of luck to you both, I hope she pulls through!

Is there any way something could have contacted her that caused a burn or an allergic dermatitis. If she has lost so much wait, Im wondering if she ingested something toxic. I think she needs a vet. Keep us posted.

How's she doing? What did the vet say? Did you have a heat lamp on her?
