New baby crested gecko slow and stopping: Is she sick or adjusting?

Question

I just bought a baby crested gecko yesterday, (I'm not sure of the age, but she's about the size of a crayon), and I'm not sure if she's more calm than most crested geckos. She's very slow at walking, and will randomly stop walking all the suddon, (after around 10, to 15 seconds, she'll keep walking again). Is this normal for a baby crestie that was just brought home? Is she sick or something?

She may be a bit cautious and apprehensive in her new environment. Give her a few days to acclimate. Confirm proper environmental parameters, especially heat /temperature. Low temps can affect activity in reptiles. make sure the lighting is not too bright also.
