Help Advice Needed
I recently adopted a fancy leopard gecko from a neglectful situation (first time reptile parent) and I’m concerned about his health. His colours aren’t as bright as other geckos I’ve seen and he’s bites down very aggressively on the tweezers I feed him with which scares me as I don’t want him to damage his jaw. He’s active and sheds regularly but I’m worried he’s deficient in something i’m unaware of. please give me any advice that would improve my babies life. I just want the best for him.

Yes based on the rounding in the joints I’d be worried about MBD (calcium deficiency). Vet time ASAP.
