first of all does she have a humid hide? second green poo... is it always gren? has it just started?
bad sheding and odd colored poo can be a sign of internal parasites. you should take her to the vet for a fecal or see if you can take in a FRESH sample

Please tell us how this gecko is being housed, what kind of substrate it is on, what the warm and cool temperatures are, how long you have had the gecko, how it has been eating, if it is housed by itself.... I would like to help you, but these things are important.

The green poo could be from the gecko shedding so much. (they eat their shed) I Have read that a sure way to know when your hatchling has had it's first shed is if you find green poo. So this is just a guess. I would take a fresh fecal sample to the vet to get tested for parasites. Also make sure you have all your husbandry correct.

That's very humid for a leo. Do you have a waterfall in there? If so, it should come out. They need a humid hide to assit shedding, but too much humidity in the general enviroment leads to illnesses.

Also, are those the surface temperatures? What type of thermometer did you use (it does make a difference). If they are the surface temps, then that is ok.

My #1 suspect is parasites, followed by too much humidity.
