Kinda sounds like MBD. But I'm not a vet. Sorry I can't help you more.

I agree with the above post. Has it been getting calcium? If so, how much? Does is have UVB?

Well before the vet started treating with liquid calcium he had the VGF from T-Rex and I figured that was enough but I guess not so know he is on liquid calcium and he has an exoterra 8.0 UVB bulb thats 12" from his basking spot.

Well I'm not sure what's going on. I just saw a post above this one indicating a similar walk and Christyj indicated it was a vitamin B deficiency.

How long has he been on the calcium? Are you giving him any other supplements such as a multivitamin?
