75 is WAY too cold! They're dull because of the low temps.

Warm side should be 90-95F, cool side should be about 80F.

You need to get an under tank heater, for belly heat.


Poor geckos probably doesn't eat very much either, and has chunky undigested poo. they needs heat pronto. They use it to digest their food.

Yea, raise those temps. Reptiles don't shed if they're not growing from eating, and if they can't digest their food it's essentially like they aren't eating.

For a 20g a 100 watt ceramic heater would probably work. I'm curious though, why not just go for the under tank heater? It would be about the same price as the lamp (maybe cheaper) and would be better for your buddy.
