Okay, so this is my first beardie. He is a few months old, gets fed crickets once a day as many as he will eat, usually it is around 20 small crickets. Our uvb bulb broke a few weeks ago and he couldn’t use his hind legs at all today, they looked paralyzed. So I researched and found it was probably a calcium deficiency because of the missing bulb so we went and got one and gave him a calcium bath and gave him drops of calcium water to drink as well and fed a few crickets too to make sure he still had an appetite. After all of this and keeping the uvb light on him this whole time, he started being able to move his hind legs again. But then we let him bask after his bath with the uvb and heat bulb and he was doing fine so I took a shower and when I came back he had fallen off of his basking spot and was on his back looking like he wasn’t able to breath till I flipped him back over. Not to mention his belly his huge right now!! And lastly he is currently shedding. Is this normal somehow or should I be concerned?
