Hello all. I’ve come for some help.

I have a baby beardie. I’ve had him for about a month now. Everything was fine till about 4 days ago he started having wierd motions and trouble catching crickets. It’s almost like he can’t focus or see correctly. He seems fine other than that. Has an appetite. Stools are normal. Active and sleeps. He seems fine until he is trying to eat or if you pick him up.
I’ll probably get back lash but he is housed with my Other juvinile beardie. But they have no issues with eachother. they do well. No dominance issues

I thought it might be a Infection or deficiency of the d3 or lighting. But I don’t believe it is to do with that since he is seems perfectly fine besides this issue.

So if anyone has anything I can try please let me know. I’m going to add a link for a video.


some info:
40 gallon tank
Zoomed 36 inch t5 10.0 uvb as well as a reptisun 10.0 bulb in the heat lamp
150 watt basking bulb.
Temp is 105 in basking
Cool side is 75
Humidity is at 40%
Heat and lights are on from am till 9 pm

Food consist of
Crickets
Meal worms with vitamin d3 powder.
Kale
Green beans
Strawberrys

If your keeping two bearded dragons in the same tank SEPARATE THEM ASAP- the older dragon will take over all the UVB and basking areas --- DRAGONS SHOULD NEVER BE HOUSED TOGETHER--- the UVB should be inside the tank if the screen is a fine mesh - the screen will block 30% of those rays -- the baby has some issues going on and it looks like it could be neurological - I would get him into a reptile vet ASAP-- where did you get him from?
Here is a website to find a reptile vet
