bad aim while feeding + moves kinda wobbley.

[Falcons]

I have a female leo about 6 mos old. I've had her since Nov 15 or so. She was doing great up to two weeks ago. She started with a cloudy eye. I fixed that with contact cleaner. It cleared up in two days. Lately she has had a problem aiming when feeding and is kinda wobbley compeared to my male. He is on point when eating and very agile at all times. She is still eating well, 3-4 supers every other day. She's also still gaining weight. When I got them they were both around 40-45g. Now she is 54g and he is 62g(at only 5mos old, he's gonna be a beast). Anyways it's like she is drunk or something. If any one can shed light on this it would be great!

Thanks, Troy

I have seen leos without adequate calcium act like that and also when temps are too low.

 

[Falcons]

I dust every feeding. Temps are around 85-87 deg on the warm side.

Is she an enigma morph?

No bold/carrot tail.

Also, bump up the temps to 93 - 97 degrees on the warm side.

that isnt hot enough 4 a start it should be around 95ish and its pointless dusting every feeding if your not using the right stuff...

 

[MrLeoGecko]

lol sorry posted at the same time

 

[Falcons]

Ok I will get it above 90. It's weird tho. The male is doing great.

Im using repashay calcium +.

 

[MrLeoGecko]

well i liv in the uk so its not avalible but i use komodo premium dusting powder made 4 leopard's and it advises that u dust every food item but yours might have a diffrent content of things

I got repashy from the lady i bought the leos from. Shes been breeding for 20+ yrs.

Have you got a bowl of calc in the viv with the gecko at all times? If not I suggest you leave some without d3 in there, and dust with d3 maybe twice a week and see how it pans out.

 

[JordanAng420]

Falcons, is it possible you can get the questionable activity on video and post it here?

Oh and Repashy is fine for calcium...

 

[Falcons]

no video. I checked her again today. Put her in the light both pupils dilated. When I put her back in the tank on top of the wood she just when to the edge and dropped about six inches on her face. Shes never scared she just hung off and let go. The best way to describe her behavoir is like being drunk. She also moves slow. Eating and defecates normally, so what is goin on. Very frustrating.

Does she go to the bathroom in 1 place or everywhere? Honesltly I'm no help but if I were to guess either weak bones/muscles or some kind of neurological problem.

 

[Falcons]

she goes in the same spot. her muscle defenition looks fine. her legs are not skinny. could it be that she is just one of those clumsy ones?

 

[Falcons]

Just an up date. I think the heat being low around 85 degrees was the problem. I raised to 94 degrees avg. Now see moves better and has a better aim when eating. Thanks for all the replies. They helped alot.
