legs

[rachel]

hi. I am very concerned about my BD. He constantly keeps his legs extended back. when he needs to walk he will use them ok, but when he doesn't have to he keeps them extended. He wont run or go after the crickets I am feeding him either, he waits until they come to him. I notice that he always has at least one of his front legs bent also. I don't know what to do.

Hi Rachel. It isn't uncommon for them to keep their legs stretched like that when they are basking, but he should still should be using them normally.

Could you post a picture?

Also, if you could answer a couple of questions it will help to see that everything is set up properly and feeding is proper.

My Dragons like to lay that way too, that's something that must feel comfortable to them.
