I feel awful....

danbob987 Feb 03, 2007 12:50 PM

Ok, I feel terrible, I just had one of my leos out and he climbed up on my shoulder and jumped off of my shoulder. He fell about 5 feet and now his tail is twitching. He is alo walking funny too. I feel awful. Does anyone know what might be wrong or do you have any advice?

thanks,

dan

Dan,
Sorry to hear that... There can be a few things wrong from just being too sore to walk normally to broken bones or head injuries... My advice to you would be to take it to the vet...

For the future, DO NOT carry your leopard geckos on your sholder anymore...

He is walking normal again. Maybe he was in shock. Thanks for the advice.

I would still keep a very very close eye on the little guy. He could have some internal injuries. Hope he's ok, and good luck

I have to agree with ballonz still could be something wrong. I would for sure just keep a close eye on him!

I have been keeping a close eye on him. He is back to his normal self, He is out right when the lights turn off at night and he peeks his head out of his hide when i come into the room. So i think he is doing fine, but i will keep a close watch on him.

thanks everyone!
