leg shaking

[Ross85]

Hi,
I have just noticed that when my gecko takes a step his legs will shake a little bit just before they touch the ground. Is there a problem or is he just feeling for the ground or is it something else? Anyone ever notice this? His joints aren't swollen at all and he is eating fine. Still seems active and gets around fine.

yeah ive noticed this too i think that its when theyre expecting their foot to touch the ground but it doesnt so its just "looking" for the ground with its feet

When mine are walking over my hands, they'll occasionally do the leg shaking thing. Like thetrevsta said, they're probably just looking for the ground.
