My two-year Sucate tortoise has started dragging his back legs recently is there anything I can do to help him to fix it or should I be worried

Post pic of enclosure, temps, humidity diet and the tort.
Give him a long warm water soak in a big enough container he can move around a lot.
It could be a blockage. If his enclosure is too small could be lack of exercise/muscle strength.

Ok ill post pic. I just got him a outside enclosure so he can bask in the sun and he has his own garden, I don't have a uv light .
If you put him outside 3-4 times a week for uv then you don't need the light.
If you've been keeping this tortoise indoors with no UVB then that's your problem. Sounds like your tort has started developing MBD unfortunately.
