Enigma syndrome

So I've had my gecko for a while, and over time I've noticed some interesting behavior, but I never thought much of it because I've never owned a gecko before .... I caught him a couple times just staring up, and he has always had not good aim when catching his food. At first I thought the bad aim was just his age, but even now, I will place a mealworm in front of him and he will miss it several times when it's right in front of him!!! I've taken to feeding him with a pair of tweezers. Crickets he had a harder time catching. I've been researching enigma syndrome and those seem like symptoms... does he have a mild form of enigma syndrome? I got him from a pet store, so I don't know his genetics...

Your leopard gecko isn't an enigma, so the chances he has ES are next to nothing. Leopard geckos vary in their behaviors and ability to hunt. I have one gecko that I was convinced had some sort of neurological issue because it would take her forever to eat anything. She would miss often and move really slow. Not a good hunter at all. She's fine, that's just how she is. I have geckos that are great hunters and some that take several tries to get a worm out of a bowl in front of their face.

As long as your gecko is eating, shedding properly, not lethargic etc. I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Ok great
