New gecko acting VERY strange!!

z10silver Sep 25, 2003 03:08 PM

I just got a het albino female in the mail today and she looks perfectly healthy. She seems to be having seizures and can't walk without twitching or shaking her head! I called the breeder and said she was fine before she was shipped and that he would replace her if her condition didn't improve. Does anyone know what the problem could be??

Could be a nervous disorder.. or could be related to a lack of vitamins and calcium.... Vitamin deficiency or Calcium Deficiency can have those symptoms.. You should try getting some liquid calcium/vitamins and see if that helps improve the condition or not.
