Tegu won't use backlegs..

[GraphiK]

Hey all,

I'll be posting this on TeguTalk and TheTegu so feel free to answer on either site, I'll be checking both!

My 1 year old tegu does not make very much use of his back legs, initially I thought that this was normal for a tegu of her size (I have a smaller red who does not walk like this) There isn't any shaking or twitching, I use a MVB (Less than 6 mo. old) and their food is supplemented so I don't think this is MBD. I've recorded a video of him eating roaches (This isn't his normal food, just clearing out the colony) ignore the kids talking in the background, he always draws a crowd. Any help would be appreciated!

it dont look like MBD, i have a 3yr male that does that with the back legs "kinda pushes himself", but then 5 min later he's walking on his "toes" lifting him self up as high as he can when he walks, so i would just keep an eye on the legs and if it doesnt get better or it gets worse consult a vet.

My three adult males do this, too. My blue/red hybrid does this every time I take him out of the enclosure. He just deos this for a little while and then walks normal. I think they are marking the territory.
Does yours do this all the time or just on and off ?
