i’ve had a crested gecko for just under a year now and everything gone well until now that is, his left eye lid looked a bit dodgy for a couple of days but its starting to get better now (looks like hes shedding)
the problem is that he seems to have developed a bit of a shiver? I’ve been watching him in his viv and he constantly seems to be shivering or shaking his feet, has anybody else experienced anything like this?

what do you mean by dodgy?

and is it like a quiver when he walks or just all the time?

also what are you feeding him, and is there anything else that seems to be wrong [kinks in the tail, eye seems to be sunken in, leggs seem swolen or just thick in general, anything like that]

What are you feeding your crested gecko?

Shivering or Shaking is often times a sign of Metabolic bone disease, or an overdose in Vitamin D3.
How are you supplementing?

that is exactly what i was thinking [the MBD], but the eye thing threw me off, and all i can think is that eye issues are usually caused by dehydration or shed issues, but shed issues are hydration as well...
