Question
My leopard gecko looks as if he has three elbows.  His arms appear very weak and skinny and are pointed towards his body.
HELP!

Answer
Hello Elyse, your Leopard Gecko has MBD or Metabolic Bone Disease it is a very serious condition that is in many cases fatal without treatment. You must get him to the vet for proper diagnosis and medication. It is similar to Osteoporosis in humans, the bones weaken, soften, and start to twist and kink in reptiles.

Please get him to the vet asap.
