Arm behind back??

So my beardie can walk fine, he’s quite lazy though likes to stay in the same spot for long hours and moves here and there from boredom I guess, but I was just watching him, and he moved his arm behind his back. It stayed like that for 2 minutes now he’s just laying it flat by his side. He does that a lot. Anyway here’s a pic of this weirdness

If UVB is good, he's getting correct supplements and correct amount of food I doubt it's MBD.

I wouldnt worry too much if everything is good and hes walking fine, sometimes my leopard gecko will bask with both front legs behind her until you disturb her and then she gets up and walks away from you. (She has two heat sources, a heat pad 24/7 and then a CHE during the night)
This goes for my tegu as well, she will bask with her arms somewhat behind her occasionally.
My adult female bearded dragon likes to bask on her log sometimes with her arms dangling back a bit enjoying the warmth.

Maybe it's just a comfortable thing to do?

Although in that picture he looks like he's trying to scratch himself which is what my beardies tend to do when they are going into shed, have something on them, or are in shed.

He’s also been really lethargic but the thing is, he’s so not like that when I pick him up. Any idea why

Might be the cooler weather, although just in case what UVB are you currently using?
ReptiSun 10.0v and it’s barely 3 months old do you think I should change it already?

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
