Hello Everyone,
I recently decided to join the world of pet owners and decided bearded dragons would prolly suit me the best. I did my research and bought my enclosure. My set up is a 20 L tank with a 75 W basking lamp positioned over the basking rock on the left side of the tank. Over lapping that is the UVB bulb which is a ESU desert reptile bulb with 7% UVB output I also have an extra light fixture with a compact flo. light just to add extra light to the cool side of the cage. The basking rock also doubles for a warm side hide. I keep the temp at the basking spot about 95-100 degrees. His Food Consists of crickets supplemented with Zilla spray on Calcium and Vitamin spray. Also he is provided turnip greens and carrots(which he doesn't eat). But More To My point Bahamut seemed really healthy when i got him up till 2 days ago when he started hiding away in his hide all day. He was shedding at the time and i just thought he might be self concious. But when I removed him from the cage later i noticed his back seemed crooked; Almost and S shape. I am very concerned for little Bahamut. He is still a baby only about 10 inches long so i am hopeing someone can help me figure out whats wrong. Any Help Would be Much Appricatied.
