My crested gecko needs help I don’t understand what is wrong. I went to check on him earlier today and he acted like he had nerve damage. His front legs weren’t moving like they were paralyzed and his back legs were twitching around I picked him up and a few minutes later he was acting like nothing happened. I check on him a few minutes ago and he did the same thing and started action normal in a few minutes after handling him. If he was human I would almost think he was faking. He appeared to be asleep both times when I checked on him is it possible his legs were asleep?? It the only explanation I can think of.. Any opinions or suggestions would help the vets around here don’t work with lizards much. Thanks

my thoughts are drifting towards Metabolic Bone Disease. i think this because i recently lost a few day gecko hatchlings that suffered that problem and they to were twitching around and unable to move the legs.

theres some good info on the Dr Gecko website -

this is directed at leopard geckos, but it gives info on how to treat MBD, assuming thats what your cresty has.

I hope your cresty will be ok!

I currently keep:
1.2 leopard geckos
1.1 gold dust day geckos
7 dwarf ground geckos
0.1 chinese cave gecko
0.1 tokay gecko

Other species: crested gecko, giant day gecko

It shouldn't be calcium or vitamin deficiency because I dust with Miner-All every second feeding. I checked on him today and he is acting normal, no twitching at all. I'm really confused???
