hmm kinda odd i would say a behavior problem i mean i would maybe get him checked for parasites what are your temps ?? if i knew those i could help you better, but ya kinda sounds like a behavior thing is he eating and pooping fine ..if those are good then i dont think you have much to worry about but you might wanna take him to the vet just to make sure

hmm the temps sound fine what substrate is he on??? and is he eating and pooping ,,i would still say you should either take him in for a vet visit or take his fecal in its really your best bet if it is parasites or bacteria you wanna get ahold of them before they take control.. i mean im no vet so i always take max to the vet when im unsure .. then when you eliminate parasites and such you know that hes not sick so ya best bet is if your unsure take him to the vet

SAVVASTIG, did you change your bulbs? Last pic of your set up, they were not correct!!

Sounds like it could be metabolic bone disease (caused by incorrect calcium supplementation and insufficient uv exposure) or possibly a neurological disorder.

Please answer these questions as they will help others to help with this.

What type of UV lighting are you using?
What is the brand and number?
Is it a flourescent strip tube, a coil or a compact bulb?
How are you measuring basking temps? (what type of thermometor?)
What is the substrate in the viv?
How are you supplementing his diet - what type of calcium and vitamins - how often?
WHat town are you located in - someone may be able to help you to locate a vet!

I really would advise that you find a vet asap.

THE UVB BULB IS A SOLAR GLO 160WATT FROM EXO TERRA. I CHANGED THE REPTI GLO WHICH IS HARMFULL. THE TEMPS ARE MEASURED WITH 2 ELECTRONIC TEMP METERS, THE SUBSTRATE IS BARK AND THE DIET IS WAXWORMS AND CRICKETS DUSTED WITH CALCIUM/D3.

IT IS NOT A MBD BECAUSE I TOOK THE HATCHLING WHEN IT WAS FEW DAYS OLD AND FROM THE FIRST DAY I USE UVB BULB AND CALCIUM AND D3 DUST....

If you are using the solar glo, you do not need calcium with D3 - you need to get calcium without d3.

What size is your viv and how far away is that bulb from him?
Do the temp meters have a probe on them?

THE BULB IS 30CM FROM HIM AND THE VIV IS 120CM X 80CM X 80CM

HE STAYS ALWAYS IN THE SAME PLACE LIKE A STATUE BUT WHEN I TOUCH HIM HE MAKES LIKE CRAZY AND MAKING 1000 ROUNDS FROM HIMSELF LIKE A CHICKEN WHEN YOU CUT ITS HEAD.....LIKE NEUROLOGICAL PROBLEM. I THINK THAT HE DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS DOING,

it very well could be a nerological disorder.. but deffinatly get rid of the d3 in the calcium he dont need it with your bulb

Ok, first thing, that bulb needs to be a MINIMUM of 45cm away from him! If you cant make that distance then, until you can get that fixed, turn it off and replace it with a regular household heat bulb as right now he is being overloaded with UV and D3.

Is there a long wire and probe on the thermometers?
