a broken leg need vet care. Also, you should rule out MBD, and treat for MBD if it is found to be the prob or a contributing factor.

There was someone on here once whose gecko had broken its back, and with vet care, the animal was saved and is better now! So find a vet experienced in herps, and get your animal the care it needs and deserves.

Something to think about: If you broke your leg, would you go online to some forum and say, "Help, I broke my leg! What should I do?!!!"

No. You'd go to the emergency room. Same logic applies.
