my 9 week old veiled "Carlos" has something wrong with his arm. it's almost as if he has an extra joint belom his elbow. I'm really worried.
Many things to address here. First off, a basking spot for this species is almost an absolute necessity; he needs to thermoregulate so he can digest his food properly and go through sheds. When you say 'Full spectrum lighting' are you using a specially 'reptile' manufactured UVA/UVB bulb?evertech11 said:he's small so he's in a plastic cage until the new cage gets here tomorrow or the next day, it's kept at around 80f during the day,but with no basking spot, he is kept in full spectrum light, my first order of Miner-all is coming with the cage. i'm not sure if the crickets i use are gutloaded since i still buy them from a store. he eats all that is given to him. i just noticed his leg today, and one of hind legs looks to be bowlegged but i'm not sure because i have no photos to compare it to. I have a vet in the area, and i will set up an appointment. I will have pictures of carlos' legs tomorrow.
