Poor kiddo. In the future if you see something like this- the store has a responsibility (possibly legal, depending on the laws in your state) to get animals in their care veterinary attention. You saved this gecko, but what about the next one they get in to replace him? The new one will be going into the same situation if you don't raise a big stink now and get them to actually pay attention and do what they should by the animals.

To that end- it might be MBD (hard to tell from just a description, or even a pic) but it could be some other sort of illness, too. Keep him quarantined for sure and it's a good idea to get him to a herp vet to confirm that it is MBD, diagnosis it as something else if it's not... and maybe pick up some liquid calcium (or other appropriate meds) while you're there.

Good luck! Hope he gets all better!

our local pet store is locally owned... not some chain store... they are great people that usally take good care of there animals... they have had alot on there plates lately and i just feel this guy got the stick end of the deal... but really i wouldnt think of getting any legal smegal stuff on them... they have helpped my family out alot... i was even employed there for a short time to help us out... over all they take good care of things... but once in a while they get something like this where they just dont like to see it so they choose to over see it... i guess thats how i would say it... its really not a bad place just a bad situation... but everything happens for a reason... hes just the kind of gecko my wife has been wanting... hes eating well already tonight, hopefully he comes out of this bump thing and proves to be alright :) time will tell :D
