I've had my B/W tegu for a month.she appeared to be in graet health,she eats well,has access to a large water dish,heat lamp and full spectrum lighting.She has been hiding for a couple of days and today when i checked on her shewas twitching and draging her back legs as if she was paralized.Anybody got any ideas what it might be???

yeah, this is basically MBD, or a severe lack of calcium. Check-out the tegu forum archives, as this has been discussed many times by knowledgable keepers and breeders like Jeff Houston, etc.
Good luck, but a vet visit is really the only slim chance. Check arav.org to find one if necessary.
