Video of him walking: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkiFoQGNsi0
My male Tremper Hypo Snow morph Leopard Gecko. I've only had him for about a month and he's now about 4 1/2 months old. After I took him home from the reptile show (bought him from a reputable breeder) I noticed he had this strange walk: Before each foot hits the ground it trembles slightly. Both front and back legs do this. It hasn't gotten any better but it hasn't gotten any worse since I've had him. He's growing so he must be metabolizing calcium properly, so I've ruled out MBD. I keep him on newsprint and feed him dusted pinhead/small crickets and mealworms. He has access to water, humidity shelter, caves and a calcium dish. Luckily, it doesn't effect his life he runs around, climbs and eats just fine. I never dropped him and there haven't been any accidents with him which might have cause any brain injury. The breeder told me there are no genetic defects known of in his lineage. We are both stumped. I just haven't figured it out yet! Please check it out! Also, for more pics of them see "Calisto" in my showcase here.
Any help is appreciated, I want to get some opinions before I take him to a vet.
Thank You!!!
