My boyfriend called me at the office and the first words out of his mouth were, "Pudgy is okay...but..."

:shock:
My heart sank. Pudgy is EVERYTHING to me, and I know you all understand.
He said he was walking out to the living room, and heard a weird noise. Looked over at Pudgy's terrarium and Pudgy was on his back. He said he waited a few seconds to see if he'd try to turn himself over, but he didn't even try.
He turned him back over and Pudgy seems perfectly fine. SO he brought him to my office, because I am waiting on my vet to get out of surgery and call me to go in. He doesn't want to be in his carrier (he is totally active), but he tipped over. It's like a little balance problem. He did wave his little arms and legs when he tipped over on his blanket after struggling to get out of his carrier.
I do notice he is starting to molt around his mouth, and I know this can cause some stress. A year ago or so I took him to the vet and his calcium levels were high and his protein levels were low. The vet did a fecal, kept him for a day and looked him over thoroughly and couldn't find a thing wrong with my Pudgy.
He is about 5 years old now. My one concern is that his terrarium temperatures are off, and I am going to the reptile store here in a few minutes to talk to them (they have a guy there who's been breeding beardies for 15 years).
Does anyone know what else it could be? He is on my lap right now at my desk and has been chillin' out, but he is very curious and is trying to crawl down so he can go explore.
What do you all think? I'm just beside myself that anything might be wrong with him!
