Hi there....did you mean to ask if it's MBD ? And do you mean the little bit of lumpiness in his belly ? That's all that the picture shows, his side rib/belly area. If so, that's normal and nothing to worry about.

 

[Maninhotpink]

Yeah I did but I meant his back it is starting to curve up I think

 

[Maninhotpink]

his tail is also curving

 

[AHBD]

Try to get some better pics, including the tail. Is he acting ill or not eating ? Also, what type + brand of lights do you use and do you use a calcium supplement with or without D3.?

 

[Maninhotpink]

I use the reptical calcium powder with vit D3 and I use the reptisun 10.0 and a 100 watt basking bulb and no he is still himself I mean I could be overreacting. He still looks like himself and acts like himself and everything and eats like a horse. I mean he is getting better has been slowing down since he started shedding but that is it. He also eats 30 to 40 roaches per day. So I just may be over reacting

 

[Maninhotpink]

Yeah I'm just overreacting I think he is fine sorry for wasting your time friend.

Hello,

He looks very good, has a nice round beardie belly, too.
How far is the Reptisun 10 from him, is it a tube bulb? Are you giving calcium 4-5 days per week, once daily as well?
Just based on the pictures, it doesn't appear that he has any curvature of the spine though.

You can breath a sigh of relief that it wasn't the dreaded mad dragon disease. :lol: [ Check your title on your original post in this thread ]

Just thought I'd update you guys Percival took a turn for the worse I am now going to the vet

 

[AHBD]

Sorry to hear this....what happened ? What symptoms are you seeing now ?

 

[Maninhotpink]

He is starting to use his legs less and less he tries to use them but he sorta just pulls them up and sits on them. It all happened in a day as well he was fine yesterday but today he started losing balance and such

 

[AHBD]

Yeah, that could be a calcium deficiency.... for some reason he's not absorbing his calcium. How close can he get to his UVB bulb ? He may also be partially impacted. What exact size are the dubias that he eats ? Try to be specific... has he been pooing regularly and how often ?
