Well, the keyword is it "SHOULD" clear up without treatment and just the heat and UVB. I'd get him to the vet so he can give you some medications to help him overcome the MBD, because if it's showing, he's in a somewhat advanced stage and you really want to head it off at the pass before it gets any worse. It sounds like it's at the very beginning, and you stand a chance of having absolutely no repercussions if you get him to the vet and on the meds right away.

Good Luck,

: Im not sure exactly what his age his. He is only about 18" stl or less. His previous owner said she got him when he was 1 month old. I can probably find out his age by tommorow or atleast a close estimate. Im feeding him mustard greens, collard greens, orange squash, and parsnips with some T-Rex 2:1 calcium/phosphorus powdered supplement with vitamins mixed in. And I am getting him the better uvb tube. So, if he does have mbd it sure clear up with that right?

: I finally held him today. He whipped and bit me when I got him but he's tiny so it was nothing. He calmed down some but was still scared and tried to get away a few times. I think I'll start handling him more and more everyday and he'll be tame in no time (hopefully)
