What brand and type of Calcium are you using? And what brand, strength, age, type, and distance from the dragon is the UVB light?
Posting a pic. would help too.

It definatly sounds like a calcium deficiancy. Do you have a UVA/UVB full spectrum light? Without it he will get a calcium deficiancy, no matter how much calcium you feed him. Make sure he has that light, and that you are replacing it every 6-10 months.

yes i do have the uvb what im thinking is that the breeder didnt have one and when i got him it didnt show because he didnt have the basking light at the show so he was on the cooler side and i didnt get to see him eat.
