[QUOTE="Yusani, post: 1961597, member: 110549"] I am afraid you are right, a stressful situation brought out an underlying health problem. The good news is the twitchy movements and favoring one side seem to have stopped. He is still not eating well after the freeze. We took him to the vet and had bloodwork done. The vet said his calcium is extremely high. She said normal is up to 8mg/dL and his is 42 mg/dL. She said that his creatine kinase is also elevated. It was 400 and normal range is 200. (I forgot to take down the units.) The vet said creatine kinase can be elevated when they have not eaten lately - which is how it has been since the freeze. She said the calcium level is too high to be due to over-supplementing. She said that it is high either because "he" is actually a "she" and she has eggs that need to come out, or if he is male, she suspects cancer. We are going back Friday for sexing and an X-ray. In response to the husbandry questions, we bought the Reptisun T5 bulb and I have bought the ZooMed Repticalcium without D3. I am taking this harder than one might expect considering he is in fact a lizard. I had nightmares last night worrying about him! [/QUOTE]
