    How often to you provide calcium with Vitamin D3? It appears as though Paco has the start of MBD(Metabolic Bone Disease). Note the drooping lower jaw and slight overbite. Other than that he looks ok, but you need to correct the calcium deficiency ASAP.
    As for enclosure size you can still use an eclosure of similar size, but taller if he is indeed a he. I keep males in 12"x12"x18" enclosures and tbey are perfectly happy.

    hi, thanks for the responses, he has calcium +D3 every couple of days, it is the same stuff that i have used for my bearded dragon for the last year, as i was advised by the shop where i got him from that it was fine, i think its the exo terra one off the top of my head but not entirely sure as im at work at the moment. well i am under the assumption that he is male as he croaks quite a lot at night time


    what do you recommend as the best solution to getting him back to health quickly?

    Give the calcium D3 every other feeding for a while. Do you also use a multivitamin?
