he seems to have a sore leg and constantly has his left eye closed
and around the left side of his bottom jaw looks like he may have fallen on his face
and he's vibrating a bit and the sore leg twitches
i dont think he had a fight with the other one
he's lively enough coz i got him out to give him a look over and he was fine when i got him out but a few minutes after i put him back he started again
im not sure what to do he's eating greens and crickets, i also dust the crickets every once and a while so im unsure of whats causing it
unless he went for a rather hard tumble but he seems in a bit of pain
i dont know whats going on with him, he just got over his constipation and now this....
the other one is perfectly healthy and seems to enjoy waving and head bobbing at me lol

How often do you mean by 'once in a while' when you dust feeds? Do they have UV?

Well, i'm not an expert but the leg twitching and previously impacted doesn't sounds good. I'll leave it to someone who knows more to discuss.

If you are unsure on uv replace it!...dust calcium every feed for next week ,
with consultation from nearest reputable reptile shop or vet( asap) you can use T-REX.......Solar drops its a liquid uvb.(cost $18 for little bottle...but will last you years&can give to gravid reptiles to help them!)
I replaced a uv only last week........The BEEP was faulty!.....my little hatchie was starting to shake
first it was a back leg ..then next day both front legs.....then next morning it was the body......
Get a opinion from a breeder or vet asap.........
I rang the guys at ReptileCity in S.A(i live here) they said to use this...only 1 drop pr day no more than a weeks worth!
