Question
I have a bearded dragon he about 4 years old. He wont ear or drink & is twisting head an wont pick it up or walk right. Do you know what mite be wrong know one else does?

Answer
Hello Joe,

Can you run over your tank setup with me?  What type & brand of UVB light do you use, is it a flourescent tube bulb or a compact/coil light?  How old is it?
What type of basking light do you use?  A bright white light or a colored light?
Do you use calcium supplementation?
What do you feed your dragon?  
Can you post a picture of him?  
It is a possibility that he might be having a calcium deficiency problem.
