You can skip to my short and dry version if you want.
I came home today from school and ran upstairs to give hunter his bath. I noticed when I walked in the room that his head was positioned crooked (one eye to the sky, the other to the floor) and one eye was open and the other was closed. I really did not think of it as anything bad because I thought he was just looking at the top of his cage. Well I put him in the bathtub and start the water to a nice warm temp. His head was still crooked and while he was in the tub I noticed that he could only move in circles and could not turn his position. After draining the tub He started flipping on to his pack. I quickly grabbed him and restricted him from being able to turn on his back since I know beardeddragons can't really breathe on their backs. I had to fight with him, I was gentle though. Putting him back into his viv he kept trying to flip over or something. I turned his lights off, shut the blinds, and closed the door so he will go to sleep and not hurt himself while I am not watching him.
tl;dr
Hunter can't move basically. He flips on his back when he tries to walk.
I know this can sometimes be a calcium deficiency but the thing is that I feed him a balanced Ca Diet and he has a nice 100watt Megaray which is only a few months old. I really don't see this being calcium related.
