    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have two dragons that have MBD, one I purchased with his sister (from the same clutch) who has no problems (the sister), he has almost NO use of his back legs. They are both fed and given the same vitamins/ supplements, etc. What could cause the difference in the two beardies? My major concern is for the brother as he is very bad with his legs, any information would be greatly appreciated.

I have another that was a rescue locally, he is in very bad physical shape (looks wise, does not affect his eating or breeding habits). Adding calcium to his diet is helping and no other defects have been found.

I have a small female that was purchased from a local pet store one year ago, she is almost the same size as when we bought her, she has a problem with her eyes, she doesn't open them very ofter and they look somewhat swollen when they are closed.

All dragons eat greens, crickets, and mealies some fruits dusted with miner-all and they also get the repcal pellets occasionally. They all have high power UVB/UVA heat bulbs in the enclosures.

Again, any help would be appreciated, we would like to know how to help the first male and the little female, as they seem to be in more of a need, our rescued male has a snub jaw.nose area and a dent in his back, but he eats like a pig and seems to have a good disposition.

Thank you.
 
Sounds like

you need a trip to the vet. The hind limb paralysis is the result of feeding on a prey item that was too large. I would say the female from the petshop probably has some sort of parasite,but thats just a guess. Take these critters in as soon as you can.
