    Some object has hit your Gecko hard. That is why it is unable to move properly. It requires a thorough check up. Internal as well external. Keep it warm so that wound can heal quickly. Take it to vet if it keeps on showing this condition for more than two days. Arrange soft bedding for it. Feed it healthy diet to create energy and immunity in it. It requires X-ray to know the exact area or part of body that is damaged.

      Captive reptiles often suffer from weakening of the bones, and I think this may be his problem. He needs to see a vet, who can x ray him to detect fractures, confirm thin bones and prescribe supplements. Also does he spend time under the right sort of lamp to allow him to make vitamin D?

      Thanks so much! We think he spends more than the recommened time under the so he would get enough vitamin D.
