 HELP! My crested gecko isn’t using her front legs!

My year old crested gecko has been acting strangely lately and yesterday jumped off my hand and onto my floor. The drop was like half a foot and she dropped her tail. Now she has lost the use of her two front legs and isn’t looking good at all. Please help quickly!

Get her to a vet ASAP. Something like this needs to get checked as soon as possible since it may be a neurological issue. We will probably be of no help to you here, but a vet should know what is going on and may be able to help you further. Good luck.

best suggestion is to get her to a vet asap for help on the issue

what we can do is make sure your husbandry is good and rule that out as a possible reason shes not using her front legs after that fall..

whats her cage set up?? size? humidity? temps? substrate? what are you feeding her? how often and how much? are you supplementing the food at all?

I honestly don’t think that fall could have been what hurt her. I mean, I guess it could if she landed wrong. I had a baby Gargoyle gecko Jump off my hand and fall on to my floor. It was a good five feet, and he was just fine.
I wish I could help more, I hope your Gecko is okay.
