: It could be any number of things in all honesty. Bad luck could be one. Any ideas as to how/where Axl is losing them ? As far as UV light - what brand of bulb are you using ? Believe it or not, this really is an important question. Diet is also very important - what are you feeding him ? What are you using for a calcium suppliment ? Bear in mind that if UV, heat, humidity, and diet are all being correctly controlled you shouldn't have to suppliment with ANYTHING.....

: Let us know so we can make some more educated guesses. If you are concerned enough by this, you may want to schedule a vet visit for a once over.. Fecal, blood, etc. If you don't have a good herp vet yet, try looking at www.arav.org under the "members" section.
