I have decided to get a new bearded dragon after Milo passed . I now have Enzo who's full of energy and makes me very happy. I have noticed that his front claws do something weird. I have also attached a picture, is this normal? All I can think of is that the food dish is slippery and this why that happens. Any advice will be appreciated, I want to make sure he's ok and well taken care of. I attached a full picture of him just because.

Hello, I'm kind new to the whole beardie thing, but I've been studying them for a little while, I'm sure he's fine, but this has never happened to my beardie, but I know a lot of beardies have been poorly bred, so this issue could be a bone disorder and you might want to get it checked out soon to see if it can be helped or cured or if there's even a problem.

Sometimes this is a sign of MBD. ???
I'm going to take him to the vet again. I already took him and they said he was fine. I feel like he's getting worse.
This is what I'm thinking. The vet said he was fine but I don't think he's ok.
I thought it was only in the food dish. But I've been noticing it more. The first time was July 15th, I called the emergency vet that night and they didn't have a reptile vet. So I took him the next morning and they said he was fine. On July 15th I had him out of the tank on the carpet. I feel like I've been noticing it a lot more lately and today when I got home I feel like it was worse. He eats dubia roaches dusted in calcium or vitamins. Also collard greens and mustard greens. Sometimes carrots and red pepper. Second picture is when I got home today.

Mostly in the food dish but it seems to be getting worse. The small tank is his travel tank. I had to go see my parents. So I got him that one. And the big tank is his regular tank. I have tw o basking light bulbs and the UVB. The picture of him is when I got home today.

Your UVB is not obstructed correct? --- I see hes trying to get to that UVB --- take the plastic cover off the fixture if there is one --- bulb needs to be exposed -- basking decor needs to be directly underneath the UVB approx 6-8 inches -- but you must get your UVB situated -- so get some decor piece thats high enough 6-8 inches
