I agree, it is most likely due to a calcium deficiency. Have you been using a compact/coil
UVB Light? How long have you had Hydra?
If you wanted to consider a Mercury vapor bulb, the better ones are the Arcadia D3 MVB,
or the Megaray. Those are the two best ones. Using them in conjunction with a T5 tube
bulb would be a great combination & excellent UVB exposure.
How often are you giving him calcium? At his age, he will need a good dusting, once daily,
4-5 days per week right now since he's growing.
What types of foods are you giving to him?
Can he walk & climb normally?

I'd suggest getting a MVB and a proper tube light like the reptisun t5 HO 10.0, both can be placed on top of the screen since they are stronger than the other weaker bulbs. Uusally just a tube light would be good but honestly i feel like it would be best to get him a MVB so that he has a lot more uvb than what he was getting.
The reptisun t5 HO 10.0 and MVB's are the only ones that can be placed on top along with the arcaida bulbs. The reason this is, is because they are stronger and produce correct amounts of uvb that can go through screen and be enough unlike t8 10.0's, t8 50.0's and t5 5.0's.

Yeah, he's even stopped doing a weird hoppy walk and is walking just fine! I'm glad I caught it so earlyAHBD":1osqlhdb said:That's great ! It's nice to read a positive update. He looks overall quite well there.
I think I might also start uploading regularly about him, he's so interesting and sweet!Drache613":3ue8hmul said:Hello,
Holy Toledo, that is awesome he has recovered so well.It is always so great to see a positive
update, as most are not good & don't end well.
I'm happy to hear he is doing so good now, do keep us updated on him. You can post more
pictures of him here too if you would like.
