    Im not seeing something that describes his condition on that page, but that was very helpful.. Thank you!
    1. Ten Gallon tank
    2. 1. Just mister Kiwi
    3. 73 percent
    4. 74 degreed F Now
    5. treated tap water
    6. Im no longer using substrate, just big rocks and decor for climbing out of water
    7. wood and clay decor, all were brand new when i put them in there. I didn't clean them (should I?)
    8. Gut loaded crickets
    9. once a week - flukers calcium with vit. D3.
    10. a regular flourescent bulb on top of tank
    11. the light heats it but it stays at about room temp, which is 68-74 where i live
    12. two days ago i saw him eat 2 crickets
    13. No
    15. not sure, hes from petco
    16. one month
    17. considering its from petco, probably wild caught. but im not 100 percent sure
    18. i have only fed him crickets. i tried mealworms with no luck 3 weeks ago. he didn't want them
    19. ive never handled him, i just scoop him in the box he came in to clean his tank
    20. its in our living room, so probably high traffic. but its just me and my boyfriend here. and we don't have many visiters. so, its not really "High Traffic"
    21. ive been cleaning it once a week, rinsing the decor and doing 100 percent water changes.

    I think it might be some kind of infection.
    Where in NC are you. IF you are close to Raleigh I would suggest taking him to Avian and Exotic Animal Care
    or at least sending this picture to them on their face book page.
    They are really good I trust them completely.

    I would move him to a small hospital tank with moist paper towels (treated water) and cover 3 of the sides and place in a quiet area until you hear more form the vet.

    Good luck.
