Cleo, B***chface, Iris, and Scooter
I thought I'd post a few pictures to show you the size difference in the Leopard Geckos. The difference is amazing between Cleo and the others! I can't believe that Iris and Scooter are roughly the same age  I am still too afraid to pick up Scooter so I can't get an exact weight or measurement just yet, and the girls weren't about to hold still to be measured today, so use the penny as your guide:
#1 B*tchface,
Age: about 7 years
Medical History: Calcium deficient at the age of 3 treated agressively, she still has a crook at the base fo her tail and she's small.
#2 Cleo
Age 1.5 years
Medical history: none
#3 Scooter
Age: <1 year
Medical History: First 6 months if life spent witho heat or calcium, now suspected to have Metabolic Bone Disease
Sorry that I couldn't include Iris but she is is shed...I'll take a picture to scale with the penny tomorrow or the next day. Here is an okay picture, you can use my hand as a bit of a guide.
#4 Iris
Age <1 year
Medical history: went 2 months witho food or calcium. Developed all of the markers of Metabolic Bone Disease. Still recovering (notice he swollen forearms)

Aww, it's still so heartbreaking to see scooter. I hope he get's better soon. Your other Leopard Geckos look great though.

God Bless their darlin little leezard hearts, and God love you for taking such good care of them, Lacey. We have one that came to us at about 2-3 months old, undersized and wobbly-legged, but not due to any lack of care on the breeder's part -- He had proper heat and feedings, dusted her crix, etc, but figured she might have had some sort of difficulty in incubation. We took it a step further: put a calcium dish in with her (she spends time every day, face and eyes into it lol) and started dusting every single cricket and mealie that went in with her, and you should have seen the rapid improvement! We now have a little girl with strong, straight legs, who loves to eat mouse pinkies!

Yeah, I'm doing what I can thanks for the support, I certainly haven't found much on other forums. I was worried that he wasn't getting enough calcium so I mixed up a bit of slurry and he took to that REALLY well. I think he hesitates on eating the bugs because they are a little crunchy and he has NO muscle in his jaw....he has bitten me twice and I couldn't even tell, I had to look at him licking his chops to even know he had struck!
He is very determined though, It took him about 12 tries this morning to get one mealworm into his mouth but he didn't give up. He'll get it half way into his mouth but he doesnt shut it quick enough so it falls out and I have to pick it up and start over because he can't seem to pick them up off of the floor.
I've got a video of his 'scooting' and another question (pictures included) that i'm going to post in another thread so it's seperate from all of the pictures of my girls. Thankyou all again for your support!
