Hi all, I'm new here. We have 2 beardies; Drach is a little over a year old and possibly a German Giant, while Kahla is around 3 or 4 months old and we believe he may be a citrus. They're in separate enclosures, obviously.
Kahla is an adoption, as he has some sort of disorder. I don't believe it to be "stargazing" as he doesn't do that; it's more like he has extremely limited muscle control and "faints" when touched. He also sleeps 23 hours a day...on his back.
I hand feed him in a separate container to ensure he eats. He's a very good eater but isn't growing as fast as Drach did at that age, but as noted before, Drach is possibly a G.G. Kahla's grown maybe a third of his length in the month we've had him.
He was at the vet before he came to us but they refused xrays or bloodwork, citing it as "probably mbd." Having worked with him every day since we got him, I don't believe this to be true. He seems to have something more like MS in humans.
Has anyone had any experience with neurological issues in beardies? Or have any ideas of what else we can do for him? I'm in South Central PA and haven't found a very with enough experience to trust yet. He IS growing, eats well, and doesn't seem to be suffering in ANY way.
Thanks, guys, it's great to be here!

Please take this post to this forum and have some very experienced dragon owners and a vet from Texas look at him post what you have posted here and the pics of Drach -- they can help you more than I can - dragons should not sleep on their backs they cannot breath-- the vet mod there name is Tracie Drache613 she is usually on at nite - also AHBD is also experienced and she will probably chime in on this as well - please post what your using for a UVB - basking temps etc ------------- give them as much info as you can -

It's Kahla with the issues, not Drach. Which forum? I don't see a link or mention of a particular area. Thanks!

To answer lighting questions, they both have Reptisun 10's with reflectors that are on from 9am to 8pm and ceramic heat emitters that are on 24/7
