I'm not sure what you mean by signs of paralysis. If their back legs are paralyzed this means they cannot use them...generally they drag their back legs.

If you are wanting to know what causes the hind legs to become paralyzed, it is usually one of two things. One being an impaction, which means they have an obstruction in their digestional tract. If the impaction pushes on the spinal cord it will cause them to drag their back legs, due to paralysis.
The other one is MBD(Metabolic Bone Disease) which is caused by a lack of vitamins.... primarly calcium and vitamin D or lack of uvb.

Are your beardies back legs paralyzed?
If so....how old is your beardie?
What are you feeding him?
When was the last time he pooped?

You would definitely know if your little guy was paralyzed. Like I said he would be dragging his hind legs. Glad to hear this is not the case for your beardie.
That's funny that he sits back while eating :D

If you have any other questions...just let us know!

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
