Enigma syndrome is a neurological or vestibular (balance) disorder that can show diffrently in each gecko.
Effected animals can display a variety of difrent symptoms ranging from star gazing (staring up into the sky) through to frenzied circling behavior and flipping onto its back in a crocodilian type 'death roll'.
The syndrome can manifest at any stage during the geckos life, if yours is not showing signs now its not to say it never will.
but fingers crossed yours wont. mild symptoms can be managed with some geckos just needing to be hand fed ect.
Iv not experienced this first hand but some geckos have it so bad that the kindest thing is to put them to sleep.
