Jessica, ?? Lizards laying in a water dish is usually (not always) associated with mite infesttions. Look for little white, red or brownish little bugs crawling on the gecko.

This is very uncharacteristic of him and I'm very worried.? The temperatures in his tank are normal (low to mid 80's cool end where the water dish is, high 80's to low 90's on the warm end).? He's not ready to shed and it's been plenty humid around here, so that's not the issue either.? He's on reptile carpet so it's not sand impaction.? His diet is mealworms and crickets.? My girls, who are in separate tanks next to him, all seem to be fine. I've called around and the earliest vet appointment I can get for him is Monday.? Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong, and what I might be able to do for him in the meantime?
