After reading Firesides article, I also looked at some other sights, and I believe in my own experience I have onbserved these behaviors in a few of my own horned lizards many many years ago, and although the article targets brearded dragons, it is clear from personal experience that again too big of prey causes or can cause the back legs to become unfunctional or have tremors and not beable to use the legs correctly. Recently within the last year we had several Fringe-toed Sand lizards who quit eating and began looking stright up in the air as if they were expecting someone to give them water, they all died, and each one seemed to contract this malidy from one of the contacts in the cage. While I have never seen this in Horned Lizards, it was found these lizards parasized (wild caught) and even though I spent a fair amont of money to try and save them, they were gone qickly......
