I noticed my leo gets minor leg shakes when she is hunting, could she have had MBD at some point in her life? I supplemental properly though.

Does her tail also shake when she's hunting?If so it might be the vibrations causing it to shake.My geckos all vibrate their tails when they get ready to pounce it's really cute and nothing to worry about if she had MBD her limbs would most likely show signs of bending from malnutrition.I have a gecko who was a rescue and she had a case of MBD and her front and back legs are slightly bent she walks on her ankles on her front arms and requires special ointments o prevent sores from walking that way.I hope this helps.

Her front limbs look bentupward but not badly it may just be the shaped of her legs, and she only does this when shes walking really slowly or hunting or exploring.

If she only does it when hunting or exploring she may just be excited or nervous.As for the bent limbs with MBD they usually bend so they are actually walking on there wrists not their hands.My girl walks on her wrists I wish I could find a pic so I could show you but I can't find one. Her hands curl in towards her chest and she can't bend them at all she has a hard time shedding because of the way they are bent.
