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

Very typical for a certain type of vitamine deficiency. Often cauesd by excessive stress (handling, cagemates, non apt setup).
A shot of a vitmamin B complex or the same stuff repeatedly applied per Os often helps rather quickly.
But you have to very carefully check your setup, housing conditions, food and supplements. Sth is definitely wrong and the B viramiones do help with the symptomes, but do not abolish wrong conditions.

Hope that helps

Might be a calcium deficiency too, and I know those symptoms are also associated with impactions in bearded dragons. Might want to check in the Rhac forum if you haven't already for more help.

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?
