Hmm.. Don't take my word for it because I don't know much about the deformities of Leos, but did you read that post back there about rubber legs? Sometimes Leos are just born that way and the best thing you can do for them is keep the calcium supplements coming! I think it will help in bone development, but like I said.. don't take my word for it.

and it was the result of the previous owner not feeding her the right supplements,i'm not saying this is the case but i'm just pointing out one thing that causes it.She now walks on her elbows and feeds quite strangely,i can't describe it but other than that she is totally healthy now and gives me regular clutches of eggs.

Could possibly be a mild case of MBD, be sure to provide your leo with a calcium dish in it's enclosure and dust it's food items from time to time with calcium powder. n/p
