Does my baby appear to have MBD? It looks like he has a pretty big underbite. His vet said that his jaw felt strong at least. He's also VERY active.

It does look like mild MBD. It looks like his setup is OK now though. Is the ReptiSun tube a T5 or a T8? How far is it above his basking spot?

His diet looks good so my guess is he started developing MBD when the coil bulb was in place (insufficient UVB) and it was halted with a good diet and better lighting. He is holding himself up and looks pretty happy now and if he is very active then he is probably OK now.

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
