Her eyes look sunken and she doesn't look good. I'd fill out the how to ask for help form so we can get a better idea of what's going on

You absolutely need to know humidity . You should be misting at least 3 times a day if you don't have automatic myster . You can Pick up gage fairly inexpensive . You need to know basking and enclosure temperatures , as well as humidity . @Nursemaia can help you with getting on track .
