Hi there, I used to be on here a lot, haven't been in a while.... Just a question. Sobe is going on 2 years now, hes a nice 18 inches long and seems to be doing pretty well. He eats about two-four times a week depending on his mood, superworms.... He wont touch crickets or dubias anymore, spoiled baby. Still gets collards and sometimes treats like strawberries. He has a Reptisun UVB and a flood light, in a custom built 4x2x2 tank, paper towels for substrate. His back left leg I noticed is acting a little funny. I first I thought he was doing the "sexy leg" but I noticed when he was walking around my living room (which is hard wood floor) that sometimes while hes walking its like it slips and sticks out. None of his other legs do this. Hes going to the bathroom like normal... So I don't think hes impacted. I know is UVB bulb needs to be replaced, but the local store only carries Reptiglo bulbs. Any thoughts as to what could be going on with him? Thanks in advance!

Hard to say what it is without a video to see. Is it possible he is just slipping on the slick floor? You can order reptisun at petmountain.com

My beardie's legs slip out from under them when they are on the floor as well.
Could Sobe have injured that leg possibly? Did he have any falls recently?

Petmountain.com and reptisun 10.0 tube is what you need for UVB. Luckily, ur american, thus - easy and cheap delivery with almost anything...

Regarding the leg;
Pls post a video, just use a digital camera and shoot it (hold camera STILL) for 30 sec and post it on youtube, flickr, whatever is easiest. If not possible, please explain more thoroughly what seems to be happening

many thanks and pet ur baby from me :)

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
