How about I thought I'd share that our first leo that we all thought hatched a bit early started to turn. Her one eye she would keep closed and she would walk sort of off kilter like there was a neurological problem. Since she was so small-under a gram, our vet said to try to hand feed her and give slurry (told him about Marcia's great stuff).
So now, after about 2 weeks, she's so much better. Both her eyes are wide open and she's chasing crickets like there's no tommorrow, and also gaining weight, and is walking/running normal.
Odd thing was, she kept shedding, even though she wasn't eating much or gaining or losing weight. So he-vet-is thinking she was an early hatcher too. We're thinking maybe she just needed to work out some development stuff. I honestly think it was the temp fluctuation in incubation. But I think she may turn out to be a tang, still early to tell, but more and more of the black/brown bands are fading and she's getting more orange like mum.
