Yeah, he has his UV light at time, every day, around 12-14 hours.kelii":2w7595mf said:To me it definitely looks like he has MBD. Does he even have a UV light? He also looks very skinny. My dragon was eating 20 roaching a day when he was that age. You really need to find him a more suitable home.
Thank you for your advice. The problem is that here, were I live, is quite difficult to find food, and normally, it´s expensive (1 dollar:2 roaches). The cheapest purchase I did, was 30 dollars: 150 roaches, but I can´t contact the person that sold me those. I will buy him more vegetables, and see what happen. About the lights, yeah, I turn them ON like 6 AM, and of around 6-7 PM. The temperature in his basking side is normally 31-32, and in the cool side must be 30 (He´s always in the basking side). I used kitchen paper as substrated, but he started eating it, so now I don´t use substrate with him. Everytime he was fed, he took a multivitamin-calcium (from T-REX).INReptiles":hl7j7kqy said:If you don't have the money for roaches just buy some crickets for him, they are a lot cheaper. Where are you buying them from where they cost so much too? You might be able to just buy online in bulk and save a lot of money.
Get him some veggies too, collard or mustard greens are really cheap, at least in the U.S, so those shouldn't be a problem to get from the local supermarket, some may not eat them, but given his circumstances I don't think he will be to picky honestly. There is some other stuff you can get for him too, here is a list of nutritional values and what-not, just pick up some good fruits/veggies for him.

He will still need insect protein so please get him crickets or roaches, it might be a good idea to give him some wax worms to put some fat on him to, but not a lot because they are high in fat.
That bump is most likely MBD, what do you have in the way of lights? What are your basking/cool side temps as well, and what do you have for substrate? When he is fed, is there ever calcium/multi-vitamin dust on his food?
I use ReptiGlo. I use a normal thermometer. Te UVB light is like at 6 inches from the basking area.INReptiles":4kt8kio5 said:
