So, My bearded dragon started this movement of his limbs on Monday (16th July).
He has Pin-worms and a mild Inflammation of the mouth which he is now on treatment for as yesterday he visited the vets for multiple reasons and not just this. (those reasons being; long time not eating enough food, hiding all day away from the lights, dehydration)
During the visit I showed her these videos of him and asked her what these movements could be and she didn't know the answer. She did say that she did NOT suspect MBD as he carried himself well and was not lethargic in a way which symptoms of MBD usually appear but that she couldn't rule it out without an X-ray of his bones either. She also did NOT suspect a seizure either as he seems fully alert to his surroundings while doing it.
We will have and X-ray done if these movements continue after treating the other things I mentioned above. I just wanted the forums opinion on this, and its always useful to see other peoples problems too. Thanks

for all those who may ask:
Basking: 38-40C
warm: 32-36C
cool: 26-29C (which is hard to keep to currently with hot weather)
Humidity goes between 25% - 40% and doesnt raise or lower much more than that. Depends on weather
Two UVB T8 Tube lights - Reptiglo 10.0 and 2.0
Basking bulb - daylight exo terra basking bulb
substrate - Tile
food we attempt to feed? - pretty much everything you can get in the uk supermarket and pet shop, he hardly ever eats.
currently having baths everyday for dehydration
