Golden Gecko on ground

Hi. I purchased a young Golden Gecko at the January show. Things have been going perfect, the gecko has shed a couple times...eats crickets and has been thermoregulating. She is around 5 inches long. 90 degree basking spot, 70% percent humidity, although it goes much higher as I mist daily. Heavily planted tank (fake plants) paper towel substrate, and large shallow water dish.

Roughly five days or so ago I saw her on the ground and really didn't think much of it although she (or my older male, housed seperatly) NEVER sticks on the ground for long.

She is still on the ground and hasn't left the ground since. She is alert, looks fine...no swellings or injuries, nothing in the eyes nose or mouth......she will lap at water still although I haven't fed her since I noticed this.

I *KNOW* something is not right here especially since she will have been on the ground for almost a week. Can anyone give me some guesses as to what might be going on, or some ideas on how to tell for sure? Or anything? Since she looks so healthy and alert I am lost as to whats going on.
