Baby Gecko not using front leg

nyokasmom Nov 13, 2008 08:14 AM

My baby leopard gecko is not using his front right leg. He is kind of dragging it along. There really isn't much he could have snagged it on in the tank. Is there anything I can do to help him? I dont know if it is just a sprain or what.

Does the limb appear normal? Does it look swollen at all? Any twisting of the joints - particularly at the wrist?

Could you give a full run down of your set up?

- What are the temps in the tank?
- How is it heated?
- How are the temps measured (i.e what type of thermometer)?
- What does his diet consist of?
- What supplements are you using? and how often?
