Final Update Since my last update just over a month ago, i got the x-ray results back and there was nothing abnormal. Blood tests showed nothing abnormal so we started him on a 10 day course of loxicom and marbocyl. He started improving a little it seemed, and his balance was a little bit...

So i'd been trying to get Nova booked in with my exotic vet, but they've been fully booked up for quite a while since they're the best ones around my area. Today his head tilt was too bad for me to leave him alone so i just about managed to get him booked in this morning when someone else...

The UVB does have a reflector on it, which i thought could help with pointing the light where it would need to be? His viv is 2ft tall (he likes to climb so i was going to try building up some places for him to climb around the viv) so i wasn't sure whether the uvb would reach him if it was on...

He's still eating fine thankfully, and while he's running his toes don't fold under, but sometimes when he stops right before catching the cricket, that's when his toes on his left front foot will fold under and he'll stand on them until he moves off again. It happened a couple of times when i...

I haven't noticed him folding his fingers over yet. I've watched him as he's been running around his viv and he hasn't been walking on his toes, but i'll have to make him chase one of the crickets to see if he still does it when hunting. I'll update again (probably tomorrow) when he has his...

Updating on Nova :) He's doing really well. After it was suggested that it might be his eyesight, i kept a close eye on him and noticed he can see perfectly fine, so i had been checking around his ear, and looking up inner ear problems in beardies. Yesterday he had a huge bit of shed come away...

I don't know if this was the correct place to post this, but i've noticed that since i've had Nova, he always seemed to lean to the left. He's always been incredibly clumsy when hunting his bugs, and almost always faceplants the floor when attempting to catch a bug. I've always thought since...

That's good to know :) I thought it would be something like that but wanted to see what others thought. I guess it's pretty normal for him to develop patterns as he grows.

Recently i've noticed that Nova's beard has been turning a bit yellow in some places. It looks a bit like a pattern, so i'm wondering if it is just a yellow pattern coming through? Or if it could be a type of fungus? or something else? I'm not too worried at the moment, but i did want a second...
