Hey all it's been awhile since I've posted but I have a question. Last night Leonard was walking around his tank and each time he'd pick up his legs he's twitch them before placing them back down, it reminded me of a wet cat LOL. Is this normal or should I be concerned.

Mine do that occasionally when they're stalking something, or when they're just walking slowly. I wouldn't worry about it...unless the entire gecko is twitching...and that doesn't sound like the case :)

Thanxs everyone he was kind of squatting like he was fixing to use the bathroom then he started walking like that, I've never seen him do that before it was kind of funny and worrisome at the same time.

I think it just happens when something lightly grazes their legs. My leos do it when feeders are roaming around and they touch them, when they climb through their water bowl and get water on their legs, when they don't realize how close they are to their hide and their leg brushes against it. Reminds me of how we get the "shivers"
