Worried

My dragon about 6 months old has an arm that is limp. He can move it if I really force him to. I have looked it all over but can't figure out what is wrong it has a small scratch but nothing out of the ordinary. He's a silk and gets scratches during shed. I have moved it straightened it rotated it he gets sick of it and will pull away but doesn't react in pain. I am a pretty experenced dragon keeper. He is in a divided 55 repti sun 10.0 basking spot 102-105 taken with a temp gun. Cool side 85-90 it's a little warm here right now. I can't take him to a vet not because I won't or can't afford it but the only herp vet around is a 2-3 hour drive depending on which roads are open, and it's hit or miss if they are open. It is something new today. He gets dusted supers and dubias he also has a good variety of greens.could he have pulled it?

It's ok he's starting to do better.

Hello,

He may have strained it, if he is not using it properly. How long have you had him?
Does he have any calcium issues, or no?

You can try giving him a warm bath to see if that helps with loosening up the muscles a little in that arm.

I hope he is doing better!

I have had him for about 4 months I am pretty sure my female landed on him. The kids told me she was in his tank when they got up. She is hard to keep away from him. They are in a 55 split in two. But she had climbed everything we have used to separate them. They are in different tanks now.
