Hello there. I have recently adopted a 14 month female veiled from a friend. Seeing the previous enclosure or habitat and the setup, it was a must to take in. I have owned and own a veild now but never had any problems. I know the feeding schedule for veileds, and about MBD. So that leads me to believe shes overweight or possibly eggbound with signs of MBD because of her hind legs. Also her back has a bend towards the rear like none ive seen before. Possibly broken or normal? Could it be MBD also? And she has a few nails missing, will they grow back in? Im not sure. So id like some feedback on these things..... I took a few pictures of her out of the cage to get her moving around for better pics. She was not leaving that basking spot and its hard to notice while shes perched. Shes still a beautiful cham though.
Recently Adopted Female Veiled..... Help Please.

I don't think she has MBD or if she does maybe mild or just starting. Her legs don't have that characteristic bowing to them at least not in the pics you have posted. She looks dehydrated and also like she is carrying eggs. I would work on getting water into her and provide her with a laying bin. Her missing nails probably won't grow back.
