Please help with Northern BTS rear legs.

Hello,
I just purchased a 7 month old Northern BTS.
I noticed when he walks that his rear legs seem a little wobbly and they almost want to roll backwards as he walks. Especially when climbing up my belly when holding him.
I took him to a vet who specailizes in reptiles and she said all was ok.
She examened his legs and found no issues. No MBD.
He's eating excellent.
Maybe I'm not used to seeing a BTS walk I don't know.
It might very well be normal.
I'll try to send a video asap.
I'm still concerned.

Hi there, my guess is all is normal as long as an experienced reptile vet confirmed so. I wouldn't worry. Sometimes they will tuck their back legs close to the body and almost slide along. Hard to explain without seeing it.
