Crested Gecko sunken eyes?

Hi guys, my crested gecko that i’ve had for 5 years has been acting pretty weird the last two days. I believe she is about 6-8 years old, but she has always had very high energy especially at night. Yesterday she was very lethargic resting on the log and her head on the mister (photos 4 & 5) she stayed like that mostly all of the night, but moved in the morning to the back of the tank. Tonight she seems to be doing better and she is gripping to the glass just fine, but her eyes are still very sunken in and when I saw her lick the glass to get some water her tongue was pale and white. I set my mister higher at 30s every 5 hours and also been occasionally spraying around her if maybe she is dehydrated but i’m not sure that’s it since the mister is always set everyday and her skin is not wrinkly. she refused any Pangea yesterday and today she is at a spot i can’t reach her. The last time she ate was roughly 4-5 days ago, but her weight still looks good. Droppings are hard to see in my tank since it is bio-active, so i’m not 100% sure if she has gone. I also noticed her sleeping by the light at the top of the tank yesterday, so today I cut all of the overgrown plants that covered a good chunk of the light to hopefully warm the tank up. I’m just very worried for her because she is usually very full of energy and personality every single night, but the last couple of days she hasn’t been :( I included a photo of her in the last slide from a few months ago to show how her eye pressure usually looks at night. The only big change i’ve made to her tank is adding in a new batch of isopods about a week ago, but I have never had issues before. If she continues to act this way I may
have to take her to get checked, but there are none in my town and I am worried about the costs. If anyone has any suggesting of what I should do please help!!
