Overbite

[gothra]

I have a 4-years-old female that has an overbite; this happened gradually over the years, I don't recall seeing any overbite when she was a juvenille. Could this be genetic? I supplement her the same way as all other geckos that I have, and no one else, including other females, have developed any overbite.

This girl, Whitie, at 91 grams, eats very well and has huge fat pockets (now I know they are excess calcium fluid), so I doubt the lack of calcium as the cause for this. So...could this be genetic or are there any other causes that will lead to the development of overbite?

Bonnie, the only thing I can think of is calcium deficiency, but if she has lymphatic calcium pockets, I wouldn't thing that is the cause.

Could an injury cause slower growth in the lower jaw causing an overbite?

She had parasites 2 years ago, I don't know if that matters. Maybe its not getting worse, but the more I look at her, the more obvious this overbite becomes...perhaps I need to stop looking...
