One of my female cresteds is having tremors in her legs. Her toes and limbs are shaking slightly. I noticed it about two hours ago, and she's still at it. Has anyone seen this? Is it a problem?

almost 100% sure that it is due to a calcium deficiency, especially since it's the female.
has she laid eggs recently?
what is the diet?
are you dusting live food prey items with calcium with D3?
you need to mix up a small amount of calcium in some water and try to get your gecko to drink it.

She laid eggs about a month ago. Shes been eating CGD, and while I haven't been dusting, i've been supplementing her with Bone-Aid liquid calcium supplement. I'll try with some powdered calcium in water though, thanks.

Thanks for the help!
When I woke up this morning, she was totally back to normal. I managed to get a good amount of CGD and calcium into yesterday, and she's normal. Her tremors have stopped, and shes sleeping normally. I'll continue to try to get some extra calcium in her today. Just wanted to thank you for your response.

allen says there is plenty of calcium in the CGD, but i still add a pinch of calcium to the CGD when i mix it up the feeding after a female lays her eggs, especially first time layers.
good thing you noticed it quick. i will also take each female out after everytime she lays to watch her motions and to see if she is shaky at all. i had a bad incident where a female almost died from a calcium crash so i take it pretty seriously on my inspections.
good luck and just keep a good eye on her.
here's my female named 'orangie' that i am extremely surprised didn't die, now she lays perfect eggs still.

Good to hear she recovered. ANother trick I read somewhere is to put a shadow dish of powdered calcium right in the cage. The female will lick what calcium she needs from the dish. It doesn't have to be a alot fo calcium powder, but an 8th of an inch in the bottom of a baby food jar lid or similiar, is good.
