Ive owned my dragon for just under a week h/she is only 3months old and whilst handleing ronnie tonight h/she went all limp h/she front legs went underneath his body for a few seconds and then went back to normal, anyway i placed ronnie back in his viv and everything seemed normal for about an hour, then all off a sudden his back leg curled over him the he lay on his belly with his front legs underneath his chest almost as though he was playing dead, that lasted for a few seconds, he then got up and head bopped any advise would be grateful as im a new mum and want the best for my ronnie so thanks in advace.

I already answered your other thread but since this one is in a better place I will just answer this one.

Did it seem like he was twitching, or having a seizure?

What uvb light are you using?
Do you dust with calcium?
What are the temps in your tank?
And what substrate are you housing on?

Can you turn off your uvb bulb and check it really fast? It should have some writing on the bulb that tells the brand and what not.

Is it a compact bulb, or a tube bulb?

What do you mean by your substrate is Lino?
What are you measuring your temps with? A temp gun? A digital thermometer with a probe, or a dial stick on thermometer?

How often do you dust your feeders a week? And how many feeders do you give your dragon and what are the feeders?
How often does your dragon poo.

The uvb is a tube light called repti glow.

weve only had him a week and were dusting his feeds everyday, hes only eating on average 6 a day, he aint touching is worms and hes had a little green.

ReptiGlo is not good. its been known to cause health issues. we had reptiglo for a few months but we switched it to ReptiSUN fluroscent tube just in case. Also reptiglo doesn't give out so much UVB cause young dragons need a lot of it to not get a MBD (metabolic bone disease).

Dust his crickets with calcium eevryday and only twice a week with multivitamine. And Switch to ReptiSUN 10.0 fluroscent tube As fast as you can. and when there is any sun go with him outside or put him on places where the sun Shines (trough glass it wont give any UV lights).Natural Sun is always better.
