hatchling maybe walking funny?

Hello!
This is my baby noodle. She’s my first reptile that I got about 2 weeks ago, so I’m definitely still new to all of this and just wanted another opinion.
I was watching the cam I had set up in her quarantine home and had picked up on how she walks lol.
Anyways, I just wasn’t sure if that’s just how they walk?😭I’ve seen a ton of leo videos while doing research and don’t really remember seeing any of them do that where it’s like big steppies, but like I could’ve missed it. I was thinking her paws might just feel slightly funny with the paper towels since the shop I adopted her from had her on reptisoil. And also sorry if this is like the stupidest question ever lol
Any info would be appreciated thanks!:)

Also editing this cause I forgot to mention other than the big steppies and slight wobble she’s doing great so far. She has a great appetite and I have to cut her off during every feeding, and her poops are normal lol. I also make sure her hot side stays between 88-95°F and cool side is usually 72-75°F

So I finally got my first leo, she’s a jungle morph hatchling named noodle. In the process of doing research for her I was looking at nearby exotic vet hospitals that had techs who specialized in reptiles so I could make an initial wellness check visit for noodle. (She’s also in her quarantine tank atm)

While I was looking I had found this one clinic that seemed it was a good choice. Upon looking further at the website I saw they had care guides for quite a few pets and out of curiosity I decided to skim the leopard gecko one and found this part on housing(last pic). Lowkey gasped when I saw they said it was okay to house TWO leopard geckos in a 15 gallon tank, and THREE geckos in a 20 gallon. I was just appalled that a VETERINARIAN clinic was suggesting this, as well at it kinda seeming like they’re encouraging racks??

Maybe I’m crazy but that seems absolutely insane to me. Catch me outside their building stopping people from going in like😭
