gravid gecko shaking please help

[Jgecko]

Hello,

I've had 4 geckos for about 8 months now, 2 tangerines, 1 mack sno2, and 1 regular. All seem to be doing fine until this morning. I bred my tangerines and my female has laid 3 eggs in the last few days, only one of which I believe to be fertile. She has seemed fine and looks like the healthiest gecko I have weighing 70g and having a very fat tail. Although, this morning I noticed she was shaking while walking, and made that clicking sound when I picked her up. I have calcium in her dish, but I'm not sure if she's eating, I dusted a pinki for her to eat (never fed pinkis before) in hopes that will help her get her strength back. Any input on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Here are some things to consider, though I don't really know the answer: is it possible that she has had somewhat of a calcium crash from the effort of laying those eggs. Is she getting D3 as well as calcium. If you want to be sure, dip your finger in water, dip it in the calcium with D3 and rub some on her mouth. She'll lick it off. She also may just be exhausted from the laying effort. If she doesn't stop on her own or with the addition of calcium and D3, I'd recommend taking her to the vet.

I'm not sure, but I assumed the same thing, I give my geckos flukers calcium with d3, I just don't understand because she appeared so healthy and still looks good with a fat tail. I've been force feeding her water/calcium mix and might try that gecko slurry. Any additional input would be greatly appreciated. I wish this forum was as active as the saltwater reef forums I go on.

I think any additional answers would only echo the answer that Aliza gave you. Shakiness is uually a sign that they're not getting enough calcium. So if that's not the problem and it's still happening then a trip to the vet is probably in order.
