this is our female enigma Lemy
Lemy is currently our only gecko and our only reptile
If I sat her on a US dollar she would be the length of it

 

[Thorgecko707]

Nice gecko. Are you sure it's enigma?

 

[ZombiGecko]

That was my thought ^^^

 

[Byrns149]

Yea i dont think thats an enigma.

 

[J&K's Lemy]

we looked it up and she displays the enigma behaviors star gazing, circling, the funny head tilt when hunting, and bad aim but that is improving
this is our first gecko ever so I could be wrong but we believe she is an enigma
we got her from a pet shop
she also shakes her tail when she hunts
only seen the head bobbing once

 

[J&K's Lemy]

A lot of you other guys here are breeders so
what do ya'll think she is I don't mind being wrong lol
as long as I get the right answers eventually and have healthy pets
and healthy children got a baby on the the way a new son to teach to love critters lol

Just from looking at her, I'd she looks Hypomelanistic, but I'm not seeing much Enigma influence in the appearance.

 

[Thorgecko707]

I agree. A hypo. Very nice though. Bobbing and such can be from stress of a new home. That will go away in time.

Ya she looks hypo can we see a new pic? It kind of looks like she has MBD do you have vitamins for her?

+1, the front legs look bent, the "enigma behavior" can be caused by bad nutrition and stress, i dont see any visual enigma traits either

Took this a couple hours ago.

her legs do seemed curved a bit more then usual, make sure you dust her food with multi vitamins before feeding. She looks a lot like my tangerine did when he was younger but not sure on the morph.

 

[im faster]

I would say IMO She has MBD
which would be the cause of the issues you speak of..

how long have you had her?
And what calcium are you using and how often/

 

[J&K's Lemy]

we have had her about a month
I haven't been dusting should be starting withen the week
Have to make a trip to get the stuff also getting a UTH
we recently moved her to the larger tank so we'd have room for her and a couple other Leos to live comfortably
haven't gotten any new leos yet gonna make Lemy Healthy first
thinking about farming my own bugs to
using LeoPro gutload and dusting with Repashy Calicium Plus

 

[J&K's Lemy]

we made our own gutload using Natural Holistic cat food, sunseed hedgehog food, and fruity pebbles. The first 2 I feed to my hedgehog because the quality of the ingrediants
you would be suprized at how many pet foods out there that are made with stuff your critter can't digest

since we added the gut load we got a fatter (healthy lookin) gecko
her forelegs are still a little to curvy but she is very active

after we start dusting about how do ya think it will take to see strait legs?
