I have a question/concern about my female Leo I got about a 3 weeks ago.. she ate fine the first week. Then she shed, she’s been hiding ever since. She turns away when mealworms are dangled. She only comes out to soak in water then goes back hiding. Any idea what could be wrong ?

Uhh so, Soaking in water isn't a normal behavior that should be reoccurring. As for eating, she looks like a adult imo so she may just not he hungry. Most adults only eat once to twice a week! ^^ Nqa

She has not ate in two weeks
I’ve caught her soaking three times in last two weeks

Could also be a hunger strike ^^ Its not uncommon and as long as she isn't dropping visible weight it shouldn't be a issue however with the soaking, you might want to take her into a vet! Nqa
Leos are literally hydrophobic so she isn't getting any benefit from soaking-? Nqa

welcome to the server!
I would read over the careguide as it has up to date care information backed by scientific data.
Not eating can also be a husbandry related issue as soaking generally is. So i definitely would double check! !guide

I bring this up because i notice a very green hued light in the pic so i'm not sure what sort of lighting you're running!

It’s supposed to be AIO (all in one) bulb

ah yeh those are not safe or good to use.
that's what i thought it was since they typically have that green hue.

Thank you. The guy at the reptile expo recommended it, I wasn’t sure ,, but he sold me

they're overpowered and cannot actually be properly regulated so they can result in burns to the animal.
Definitely give the careguide a read though! It has all the basic information on what a proper setup/ what proper care looks like for a leopard gecko!
if you have any questions about the guide after reading you can ask here!
