Hi I've just gone to check on our geckos and our gorgeous little Rainwater isn't moving his back legs, his tail is moving thou wich is weird.
We have 8 geckos two of wich are babys and the one were worried about.
They are all on calci sand, have vitamins and minerals driped in there water daily when its changed.
Im going to separate him from the other young one to monitor his eating.
Any help or advise would be gratley appreciated

Take it to a vet maybe?

I did seprate him as soon as I realised there was something wrong because as he cant move I didn't want him to be picked on and also monitor his eating, hes only in with the other youngster and there's no signs of fighting atall. Theres no kinks or any mishapen spine, legs, he was totally fine the day before I noticed his back legs not moving.
Will take a pic and put it up for you

What species of gecko?? There are hundreds.
Battle damage and MBD can affect the legs on most lizards, does his/her spine looked like it's raised slightly just before the tail?? or does it look slightly curved upwards??
If you're unsure, try to get a clear photo from the side of it that shows it's whole body.

I would seperate him for sure, that way you can keep an eye on his eating, his behaviour and of course his legs. Sorry I cant be of much more use to you. I hope he will be ok xx
