There are a few common diseases a leopard gecko
could face during his life, but some of them could
be avoided if an owner takes proper precautions.
Here’s a look at some common health problems:
Osteodystrophy, also called Rickets, is a deficiency
in calcium usually caused by a poor diet. If it occurs,
osteodystrophy will result in
a loss of bone density. It will cause crooked and
stunted growth, and the bones will become more
fragile and could be fractured easily. Symptoms of
osteodystrophy are weakness, soft jaw, tremors,
swollen limbs, and crooked legs. The best treatment
for this illness is correcting the gecko’s diet and
increasing his calcium intake.

They eat and breed more readily than nearly any other type of lizard, and can be cared for effectively even by amateurs. Of course, it's still important to know about how to take care of these fascinating lizards. In the following posts I will give you some basic facts and care requirements.
