I have a female enigma leopard gecko who has started exhibiting some very disturbing behaviors this week. She has the enigma issues (circling and bad aim when feeding) but she also has this VERY obvious divot in her skull, right at the top of her cranium (she came to me like this).
She as recently begun to bite her tail and back legs by circling around like a C and just nomming away. Her tail already shows some damage and I'm worried she's going to damage herself or give herself an infection. she's been getting less interested in food but will still eat. When she comes out of this behavior she almost seems kind of disoriented.
The only thing I can come up with is brain damage or seizure behavior. Has anyone heard of anything like this? If I can't solve this issue I think the kindest thing would be to put her down.. I can't watch her 24/7 to make sure she's not chewing on herself.
She weighed 22 grams at last weigh in. hot spot is 91F. Shes fed dusted dubias and meal worms 2x or 3x a week. She now has a water dish in. Her substrate is papertowel and her hide is plastic.
I am not happy that I have to come here for an issue with another animal, but if the info this thread provides can help me or someone else that is all that matters.
