Leg Twitching ! HELP

[DDBeardies]

About a hour ago I have my bearded dragon water out of a water bottle as I do daily . And notice that she began to gag as if she was going to throw up . Shortly after I noticed her right leg and arm are slightly twitching . She is a 1year& 9 month old. Normal citrus . She is in a 75gal tank with a tube uvb and cool heat bulb . She eats crickets , horn worms, carrots, super worms, wax worms, collard greens . And some fruits. WHAT COULD THIS BE ?

Hi there, is she still doing it ? Some dragons will do a little swimming motion when drinking or when being soaked. But they can also develop tremors if they don't have enough calcium or uvb. Your coil uvb will not provide good uvb , esp. in a large 75 gallon tank. How is she doing today ? Can you post pics of her tank ? You will need a good strong uvb bulb or she will end up getting sick. Here are the best ones on the market :

The first one is all in one heat + uvb, a 160 should be good for a 75 gallon tank.

Hello,

Is this your female who laid the clutch recently?
She is most likely very calcium deficient. Which tube bulb brand are you using & how is it
mounted in the tank?
If you have pictures of the tank, please post them so we can see lighting placement.

Hello,
I Apologize For The Late Reply.
The Dragon Experiencing The Leg Twitching Is The One Who Has The 6Week Old Hatchlings. I Also Just Discovered She Has Eggs Inside Of Her. The Twitching Hasnt Happened In 3Days. I Gave Her A Bath With Pedialyte And Calcium Powder Twice. And Fed Her Some Calcium With Squash Baby Food . her Legs Seems To Be A Bit Stronger And She Has Been More Alert. She Hasnt Eaten Any Crickets Or Worms. In About 5-6 Days. But This Normally Happens Beforr She Lays Her Eggs.
The Bottom Is Pictures Of Her Set Up. Its A 75 gallon Tank Its Split At The Moment , So That The Male Dorsnt Bother Her.
Any Suggestions Would Help .

Hello,

That's good to hear she is doing a little better now. Have you been able to get calcium into
her at all?
Which UVB light are you using now, I couldn't tell from the picture. That is one of the most
important consideration to help get her better.
That's good you have a tank divider in there so they have their own space.

Let us know know how she is doing.
