First off yes I have taken it to the vet. Going for a second opinion but the can't get us in for two weeks. The vet said he was not sure but giving us supplements.
We got the Beardie late November our first. He was in a 10 gallon tank and was doing fine eating crickets and greens. Well we got the Thrive front open 40 gallon tank. Even though he was small we put him in the 40 gallon tank. He was doing fine in there for about a week. We got some Dubia Roaches and he ate between 7-9 one night. Was left 2 hours to digest. The next morning he could not move his front arms at all. They were stuck. A day later it was his back legs also. He still poops like crazy. He still has a lot of power with his tail and moves around a bit with his tail. I have been having to hand feed him which is difficult because he never really ate a lot. Any one ever had something like this happen? Could he be allergic to the Dubias? Maybe an injury to neck/spine but there was not very high places for him to fall. maybe 4". His tail today seems to be a smidge darker. Could tail rot be setting in? He is breaking our heart.
40 gallon Thrive tank. We swapped the top to a much more open screen
Had coil UVB lights when this happened but we have since swapped to a Reptisun bulb with a T5 setup on the way.
He is now back in the 10 gallon tank to be closer to the light.
Thanks for any help.
