for a geckos limbs to be in a slightly odd/uncomfortable looking position when they are lying down? dont get me wrong, he dosnt look to be in pain or anything, but i noticed to day one leg in slighty odd looking position. He can move fast though and has acess to calcium etc....

im sure hes fine.. just hes my first gecko (apart from when i was very young) and i always assume the worst :)

Hmm...what do you mean by "odd-looking"? Do you have a pic to show?

Yes, leos can lay in the strangest positions! Sometimes I see them with their front legs straight back to their sides, and it can seem a little un-nerving at first.

if it is just when it is laying down, don't worry about it. If it is odd looking when standing, walking. then be worried.

haha yeah no worries. When I first got into leos years ago I wondered the same, same with my beardies. Leos will lay with their arms behind them all limp. But beardies are the worst. First time I saw a dragon sleeping against the glass, pretty much on his tail I was VERY worried. But its VERY normal
