    As I was going downstairs to make dinner which I really need to do I just thought of something else. What does the underside of his legs look like? Could you post a picture of his underside, it could also be a sign of red leg. Which is one of those diseases where he can be fine one day then wham the next day hes not. And its a bacterial infection, how often to you clean his tank and water dish?

    I can't get him to stay still long enough to get the pic and my camera isn't that good but they look red (sorta like raw skin color) and I clean the tank every couple months (I've read to do it every week and I've red to do it every other month) and I clean the water every day or every other day

    You should try to clean the tank once a month, even though you pick up the poop they can pee a lot and that has nowhere to go but in the substrate. I clean my big girl once a month and my 2 month old Ornate I clean every 2 weeks at the moment. I clean the baby more often because his immune system isn't as strong so he would more vulnerable to illnesses. If the legs are a little pink that's kinda normal, they would get this from rubbing over the substrate or when they burrow sometimes they get a little pink from rubbing on the glass on the bottom of tank. Now if its really dark pink that's not normal, and usually with redleg they will start to get little sores almost like little scabs. I would get him more vitamins as suggested and if the pink worsens in the next couple days or the convulsions get worse I would say its a safe bet to make a call to the vet. its hard to tell if its redleg without pics but I hear you about the camera thing, my camera on my phone takes very blurry unclear pics.

    It's not badly pink. It's like a light pink like you said it's probably from rubbing up against stuff. I'll start giving him more vitamin. Hopefully it'll clear up
