You need to seek a vet! That sounds serious!

yeah I am having a hard time finding one

Can you give us any background? Whats his temps, enclosure, substrate, foods, how old, etc. Sometimes when they drag their legs, there could be partial paralyses from impaction. If they are off balance or wobbly could be inner ear infection. Where are you located, we maybe able to assist you in finding a vet. Herp Vet Connection

I would definitely see a vet, I had one that would lose balance and flip caused by an ear infection. Here is the list for the Florida area, hopefully a member will chime in from that location and help out somemore

You really need to research proper husbandry for your lizard and get him set up in a healthy environment after you get him to the vet.

Sometimes water in the ear from a bath will do it. Is she shedding or had a bath lately...If its not an infection, could be an irritation from shedding or bathing...Have you found a vet yet?

How is she doing today?

having a much better day back to eating and is shedding ...not as wobbly as before color is back still keeping head straight up at times. I am still in process of finding vet.
