Is there a way to tell if a leopard gecko broke it's leg?My female kind bends one of her back legs backworks when she walks.But She didn't start until after her shed?

Might also be MBD. A vet could tell (through X-ray). If she didn't fall, the likelihood of a broken leg is slimmer than that of MBD. Do you supply calcium?

supply calcium as in put in a dish?, or do you dust her feeders?. If it turns out that she dosent have a broken leg and indeed is MBD, dust the geckos feedings every day, if your worried about the amount of d3..look into Repashy Calcium Plus, it has a healthy rating of D3 which is safe to use everyday. Dust everyday and try different variety of worms if you dont already...something with high calcium and low fat like silkworms or phoenix worms
