He looks like he might have slight MBD, do you put calcium on his food and leave a dish of calcium + d3 in with him?

I was thinking the same but I'm not sure if he was just scared and was crouching down.

Cute Gecko!

You might want to aim for a more enclosed Humid hide to contain the humidity and do you have a under tank heater or are the lights the heat source?

The 3 lights above are WAY overkill if they are all used. Leopard geckos benefit from belly heat most...under tank heaters are the way to go, and those should be under 1/3 of the tank. The other side should be room temp (as long as your house is not drafty or cold).

Sure is a cute little thing. Definitely looks like it is in need of some calcium.

Leopard geckos need a heat gradient, meaning one side of their tank should be warm, the other cool. Like I said, an under tank heater would be more ideal, but I know people that have lights.

Definitely start supplementing with calcium powder though.

just a quick suggestion, get an under tank heater, personally i use Rep Cal Calcuim with D3 as well as RepCal Herptivite for vitamins. you should dust every day. as far as what would help with MBD i would not the slightest clue. i'm sure if you do a quick search on the forums for MBD you will have a great success.

pretty gecko by the way.

if i was wrong in any sense please someone fill in the blanks.

Thanks,

Ryan
