Blazing Blizard with Enigma syndrome?

[JonJon]

I got a new Leo last week while I was working at the Daytona expo.
it was sold to me as a Blazing Blizzard, I didn't have time to thoroughly check her out. But when I got back home I realized she walked around all doopy & didn't really seem to be able to control her arms. She eat's and is heathly I had just never heard of a blazing blizard with this issue, could it possibly be something else??

At least from the pictures, the eyes are not red, it is not a blazing blizzard.

The guy does look healthy to me. He looks to have strong bones as well. Do they look rubbery when he walks? Is there any physical defects you can see with the arms?

Looks to be a Blizzard Eclipse but there's no way to guarantee this without talking to the breeder you got them from. Sometimes blizzards can get black eyes or tinted eyes without any other genetics involved.

Look at this post from another thread that I quoted below; maybe that helps and you can do further research. The gecko looks good; I hope it's not permanent neurological damage, but something that goes away again! Maybe it's something that looks like the Enigma syndrome in non-Enigma leopard geckos. I have a Raptor that does the head wobbling thing, for example.

Certainly do not breed that gecko but if it is capable of living a "normal" life then dont cull it.

definitely NOT a Blazing blizzard.. it would have albino eye.. and it doesnt.

blizzards can also have solid black eyes with out the eclipse gene

 

[JonJon]

Alright well regardless of the morph, her arms do look likle rubber when she walks.

 

[robin]

in that case she may have mbd. you can trat it by upping it's calcium intake by either dusting more often or by using liwuid calcium

 

[fl_orchidslave]

I highly recommend getting her on liquid calcium before things progress. This is in addition to properly dusting all feeders. My vet prescribes calcium gluconate daily for two weeks. Caught early enough, the disease can be reversed at least partially.

Of course, before using any kind of medication, your gecko should be professionally diagnosed by a qualified reptile vet.

Blazing Blizzards have the eye color of the which ever stand of albino they are they don't have to have red eyes

Okay, red or pink?

albino eyes in leos only show red when they have the eclipse eye trade
