I'm sorry for what happen. Even when you asked for the vets' opinion they still don't know what is wrong with him?

Are the muscles on his body twitching? I've seen Cyclura with muscle spasms and twitching because his owner didn't give him calcium and multivitamin supplements and so they developed MBD... This is very common with herbivores. I've also seen a millions of Uromatyx that were killed due to lack of calcium in the diet and poor diet. A lot of the time the illness is diet related and insufficient exposure to UVB. You can't really varied that much with captive diet based on what is available. That's why I choose to supplement.

Im' just guessing from what I've seen and learned. I think to you need to find vet with experience in herbiorous reptiles and tortoises. I know U.C. Davis in California has great vets. That's the only place I know that are closed to me.
