Unusual casque




This guy is about 3 1/2 months old. In the past few weeks I noticed his casque starting to look rumpled or dry..not sure what you would call it. Can I get a lil help with this.

Thx
~~G

How's his legs look? Are they smooth and straight, or bumpy and irregular? His crown could be gentic, or a sign of deficiency.

Unlikly. May grow out a bit more, but I would'nt expect it to correct itself. I have a few veils with slighty irregular shark fins, as I call them. It helps me to identify individual females. ( Males on the other hand, all have there own colors and personalities.)

I'm using a 2.0 UVB 18" tube bulb and Rep-Cal Calcium with vit D3. Should I dust for every meal? It has been about 3 weeks since I first noticed slight rumpling of his casque.
I do take him outside 2-3x week for 15-30 minutes with a shade area. I'm lost and worried

You should be using a 5.0 UVB (I use Reptisun from LLLReptiles) you should dust with plain calcium every other day and calcium with D3 twice a month and multivitamin once a month. He might have a bone problem. Could you post some more pictures and get his legs in the pictures. Jann

In that one pic his leg looks like he might have bone disease. Do you have a vet?
