Welcome, first off, is your pale agama male or female? Have you fed ANY insects from outdoors? Any unusual ones? What do you feed it? What type of light do you have? Would you be able to post a photo of your agama and vivarium? (use photobucket.com and the IMG tag) Post as much info as you can so we can help you. my guess is MDB (Metabolic Bone Disease) This happens from the lack of UV rays and cannot properly synthesize Vitamin D3. Which then causes paralyses and other problems. Please give as much information as you can!
