Metabolic bone disease (MBD) is a complex disease that is associated with derangement of the metabolism of [[Calcium - Reptiles|calcium]], [[Phosphorus|phosphorus]] and vitamin D3, poor husbandry and other diseases.

MBD is the most common disease in captive lizards, especially [[Green Iguana|green iguanas]]; it is usually a result of poor husbandry. For example, deficiency in Vitamin D3 and/or UVB in combination with [[Calcium|calcium]] deficiency leads to metabolic bone disease.  Associated terms include fibrous osteodystrophy, nutritional secondary hyperparathyroidism, osteoporosis, osteomalacia and rickets.
