Feet sometimes point upwards....

So I noticed that every once in awhile my dragons feet will point upwards. For instance I was feeding him earlier today and he kind of sat on his butt with feet upwards waiting for a cricket to pass by ( he is lazy sometimes)... But if he is roaming around they are fine and flat footed. Some times he will do this with a front arm, his wrist will bend back when basking... Almost like the wood was too hot for him to put his hand down. I did check the temps with a temperature gun and they are fine.
As soon as I see him doing it again I will take some pics.

its pretty normal for them to do that sometimes...sometimes it does seem like its due to temps, but other times not ???

Also, this is a sign of MBD. Does your dragon have a slight twitch in either the feet or the body??? If so, thats something to really worry about and get looked at by a vet if possible...

I know my Beardie is doing that right now and I have to change his light set up, increase his calcium intake and so on...

Just something to keep in mind... I could be totally off base on your situation though - just trying to pass along info that Ive learned.

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?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
