mist the tak down very well it will help with the shed as for the shaky movment it sounds like it could be either from the shed or something more serious like mbd

What’s your set up like? Does it have access to a calcium dish, humid hide, do you dust it’s food items, etc. I’d say it sounds like it could be MDB as well.

Geckos can also get gout which it will show mostly in their joints as swollen, white buildups. It can also be located within their stomach as well, some people mistake swollen joints as MBD. I had a gecko with gout and unfortunately is painful and they will eventually die. Take him/her to the vet, possibly ask other pet stores around if they know any vets that deal with reptiles

Hello Jimmy5,

So very sorry that your leo isn’t doing well. I have a couple questions.

What is your leo’s exact age?
How many hides do yo have in the enclosure?
Does your leo have a humid hide?
What are the enclosure temps?
How do you measure the temps?
What do you feed your leo?
What supplements do you give to your leo and how often?

I know this seems like a lot of questions but the best way we can help you is by getting all this info.
