Hi, my 2 1/2 year old dragon reptar has had bouts of swollen limbs for a couple of months now sometimes it's the front leg and back leg and sometimes just the front or the back never all four 2 at a time or just 1 limb at a time I do not live near a reptile vet or exotic vet and my vet has no clue, he eats great, poops fine, looks healthy but when his limbs swell he has trouble walking and when lifting them they shake. I do not believe it is mbd do to it comes and goes and when he is not swollen he walks and runs like a normal bearded dragon, he gets a little grumpy and lays around a lot more when it happens but I probably would too lol but still eats great I do not feed him much protein but when he does eat bugs it seems to bring it on but not 100% it's hard to tell cause it comes and goes, he is in a 75 gallon with the desert t8 Arcadia with reflectors about 8inches from basking on top of mesh (trying to figure out how to mount on inside) I keep a night time heat lamp (no light) and a 75 w heat on basking side his temps range from 78 cool to 95 hot he eats collard, mustard, and turnip greens with different colored bell peppers and i use the Zilla spray calcium and Zilla vitamins spray on his greens daily, bugs I give once a week are crickets, calciworms and sometimes super worms if they don't have the calciworms. He is currently shedding bits and pieces. I am thinking of trying the cherry extract I just need some advice thank you .
