i rescued this gecko from petsmart. it was the only one still alive. it looks awful and it wont open its eyes or eat but moves around.

Cage: Rubbermaid box
temp: 93 hot 80 cold
red light bulb 25w
substrate: paper towel
wet hide regular hide
well ventilated
50 degrees humidity
HELP PLEASE
 
Is there any way you can get it to a vet? I would personally take it to a vet, based on your description of "the only one still alive".
 
Well, if it is not eating you may need to force feed it, but I can not say how to do so because I have never done it myself. It can not eat what it can not see.
Try putting a cricket on it's mouth, and hydrate it as much as possible. If you can fill out the how to ask for help forum like you do with chameleons, it would be very helpful. I am not an expert on leopard geckos, but I'm sure someone else on this forum is.

Please post pictures, but I would like to ask, why did you take a rescue in that you knew you could not get to a vet? :\
