Update:
I regret to inform you all that Fry passed away a little while ago. She was acting off for most of the day, more lethargic than usual. I'd given her some crested gecko diet after mixing up some for the cresteds and she ate a little last night. I hand fed her some water this morning and she drank. Just before getting in the shower this evening I went to check on her to see if there was anything she needed from me. I found her, lifeless under her paper towels right in the front of her bin, her little body still warm.
I took her out to the backyard and said a few words. This is where she'll sleep from now on. I wrote "<3 Fry 2010" on the brick for a marker.
Thank you, everyone, who talked to me or gave me advice about this little lizard. She was the light of my day for the 7 days I had to get to know her. I wish she would have lived but I don't think she was meant to make it, but this won't stop me from helping the animals I see in need. I'm sorry Fry, if only I had found you earlier I may have had a better chance at saving you.
I leave you guys with my favorite picture of the little food-face.
I have a video of her from 2 days ago during a soak, but I'm a little bit to worked up to edit and post it. I'm sorry everyone.
