    black feet?
    its really weird. i noticed achmeds feet a few days ago and started thinking back and realizd his feet have been turning blackish-purple for a few weeeks now. he doesnt seem to be in any pain but hes definately not acting like himself. anyone have any clue at all what this could be? hes on sand and had plenty of head and a shed box thats always wet. (i thought that was all pertinent information)
    thanks ashton

    I can't see the photos and I don't know anything about geckos, but could he be burning himself on a hot rock or similar?

    Is he missing his nails?
    Sand is really difficult to monitor shedding in, because it dries up their feet really fast and oftentimes their sheds will remove edges of their toes because they lost circulation.

    What color sand are you using?

    what color sand? i know my buddy once used blue sand and his LG's feet turned all blue...it should wash off in water.. that's my only idea.

    I dont think there is anything wrong with him. But I would recomend taking him off the sand.
