Enigma Syndrome in Normal LG?

That is does not appear to be Enigma Syndrome. My Enigma has a sort of a wobble/shake, but does not walk in circles or have vision issues.

That looks and sounds a lot like when some of my geckos developed cerebral xanthomatosis as a result of being fed a diet way too high in fat. All of them that developed those symptoms passed away despite intensive intervention once I realized what was happening. However, she is really young to be developing cancer.

My guess is that she was fed a totally inadequate diet and is suffering from nutrient deficiency. Make sure you gutload and supplement/dust appropriately, it’s of extreme importance in her case. (I would use Repashy’s Calcium Plus every day for a couple weeks, but not permanently). I would get her off of mealworms, waxworms, etc. immediately and start feeding her something less fatty. I just responded to a thread about leo diet here:

There’s also the possibility that she has something that is not obvious to us, but that a qualified reptile vet might be able to recognize. Since she is showing such advanced neuro issues, I really do recommend a vet visit. HERE are some tips on finding a vet with reptile experience.
