[Gecko] concerned about Crested

[Pauline Smith]

Hi all,

My female crested is in her first year of breeding.  So far she has laid 1 clutch of 
eggs (45 days ago), and looks like she is gravid again (I think), she has been digging 
around the tank over the last week or so, but I dont think she's laid, and havent seen 
her digging anywhere over the last day or two.  Last night I noticed that she was 
shaking and twitching, particularly in her legs and toes.  I hand fed her some 
babyfood with vits/calcium last night and this morning, and she was very easy to catch 
(usually she is dashing around her viv trying to avoid me) so I know there's something 
not right.

I have been supplementing her diet as usual, but I'm guessing this is a vitamin 
deficiency? or could it be something else?, could she be egg bound?

What's the best thing I can do for her?
-should I separate her from the male to her own tank- or would the move cause more 
stress?
-if I feed her babyfood/livefood with extra supplements will she improve enough, or 
should I be doing something else?

Thanks for any help,
Pauline
