Question
in the last couple of days i have noticed that my dragon is not moving around too much, she is eating okay, but she seems not to be able to support her weight on her back legs, she has movement and can move her legs though it looks like she cannot weight bear. can you help ?

Answer
Here's the thing...  There are about 15 things I could think of which could cause what you are seeing, some good (pregnancy), some so-so (obesity), some really bad (metabolic bone disease, pinched nerve, etc.).  Because I can't see the dragon or know how you're caring for it, I can't really give you a good answer.  So, if you are concerned it might be something bad I'd suggest calling a vet.
