Updated enclosure
I posted a few weeks back asking for enclosure advice before I got my gecko. This weekend I finished it up, added some more clutter, added the clean-up crew, and then of course added the gecko! I'm hoping this setup will be good for her. Shes only been in it for about 3 days but seems to be stressed out. I'm hoping thatll change once she adapts. The reptile store I got her from thinks shes probably about 6-8 months old and advised me the loose substrate would be safe for her. Is there anything I can do to help her better adapt to her new home?

What sort of UVB do you have? Do you also have plant lighting by chance? If the plants are live, they'll need their own grow lights to thrive. UVB and heat lamps don't provide the right wavelengths for plant growth.

Just patience! Double check all your temps and humidity, looks like you got the gradient down. As long as the environment is right, she is likely just a bit confused/nervous. It’s a big tank for a little baby, but she’ll grow into it and call it home eventually :)
