that really sucks that the tests only made you more confused.
i just found this webpage http://www.icomm.ca/dragon/mbd.htm
and it says that the bones need two parts calcium to one part phosphorous and that herbivore calciums dusts come this way, as that would make sense to maintain the balance but vegetables can have lots of phosphorous. i was thinking perhaps it would be better just to use the insectivore calcium (2:0 ratio) on everyone since the phos seems to be everywhere? what calcium supplement ratio does everyone use?
also perhaps your guy just had bad kidneys and wasn't processing his food properly?
how was your UVB bulb? they are pretty vital in calcium absorption.
i am just trying to throw some ideas out there to help you and us all in the future. anyone have any thoughts?

That sucks.
I'm still sorry that magnus died. Hopefully when you get another reptilian friend it hopes you feel better.
