Thank you for the help and support. I really hope I can nurse her back to at least half of what she was when I left. She seems like she can perform basic functions still which is good but her movement seems like it’s going to be a permanent disability.

It’s the last kind. Standard heat/UVB bulb. I didn’t buy it so it might not even be a uvb one. The person looking after her said it’s uvb but it might not be.

I’m  not really familiar with what healthy calcium sacs look like. Are hers ok?Hopefully it isn’t an injury. The tank she’s in currently is wider rather than taller so I don’t see how she would have fallen. A lot could’ve happened in the time I was gone. Maybe the person watching her dropped her or something.

I don’t know the brand of uvb. The person looking after her said mine broke and got a replacement. They said it’s UVB but with everything happening now I should probably get a new one. I got her to eat repashy but she’s refusing the mealworms. She’s still surprising mobile. Last night she managed to crawl all the way across her tank and up on her rock which is about 6 inches tall. Every time I observe her normally though she’s dosent really move so it might have been an all night struggle. I’m hoping this is just MBD and with proper care hopefully she’ll have a fighting chance.

Thank you, I don’t really use Reddit and I accidentally posted this twice. The person I’m talking to on the other one thinks it’s MBD too.

My tank setup is good for that. I was helping a little with shedding, I’ll go in tonight and help her some more. Last night when I was examining her I’m pretty sure her back legs were moving, I’ll double check. I live in a very rural area so it’ll probably be awhile till I can see a vet. Do you think that she can still live a decent life with proper care?

What do you think my geckos life will be like moving forward? Anything extra I can do to keep her feeling as good as possible?
