Leopard geckos are healthy reptiles for the most part.  There
isn’t much that can cause them to actually be sick.  If you have
got a healthy leopard gecko from the pet store, there is only
little tendency for them to have diseases, unless you have
bought an already sick gecko (see picking out a gecko).  With
the proper supplements and healthy balanced diet, as well as
proper care and love, your leopard gecko can live healthily
throughout its 20-year life span.  That’s why prevention plays a
vital role to deter diseases and ailments.  Listed below are
some of the common ailments and problems a leopard gecko can
have, and a bit of what you can do.  Metabolic bone disease
(Hypocalcemia)  This disease is largely caused by deficiency of
calcium in a leopard gecko’s diet.  Because calcium is
deficient, the leopard’s body extracts calcium from its own
bones.  Thus, the bone itself gets weak.
