MBD Possibly?

BryanR. Nov 22, 2003 12:09 PM

My 2 and a half year old dragon has recently been curving his spine slightly. I don't know if hes doing it to get more light on that side of his body or if its MBD. I don't see how it can be MBD considering I ALWAYS suppliment his chicken and crickets with Calcium w/ D3. I also always use a Powersun 150 watt. Do you think this is MBD? I've been doing everything to avoid it, I really hope it isnt. Ill post pictures ASAP

Actually nevermind, I dont think it is, I put him in the bath today, to help him shed, and he was sitting very strait, I think its just a thing he does to get light in different areas.

Looks very healthy to me, If you mean that he is arching his back up then yes, thats for sunlight if you are looking down at him and it looks twisted, that could be problem.
