I have a couple little live plants in there that are pretty simple and everything else is non-living or artificial. his main food source is crickets and no he has not eaten wich is the problem so he has no vitamins, I use repti-calcium and i'm trying not to handle him much because he is so sensitive when i do. i just found out he can't even walk properly on his left side and he is captive bred. I am wondering if his legs on that side just stopped working now (read paragraph above please). I try to keep his cage clean, walls clear, moist soil, water change every day, turds cleaned up (although he hasn't pooped yet) and low traffic area is the way i'd decribe his location. Im very scared he won't eat at all since his support is bad and his coordination is very terrible. He is developing more orange on his back very slowly and i put a light i forget what kind i can check later and maybe post some photos too, anyway the pet store emplyees suggested it; it goes in my fluker's clamp lamp. I'm afraid something bad will happen soon if i dont hurry up. When i got him at the pet store he looked quite healthy and i'm not so sure what's wrong. I thought it might take time for him to settle in but it appears that that's not the case here.
    I'll be back with you as soon as possible!
    Please give me your best knowlege and advice.
    Yoda, please as I asked you before, answer to all of the questions and post a pic. We need to know details in order to help you. Just your assessment that temp is warm is not enough, we need to know what are the temps, what is the humidity, what kind of water you are using, how the tank look like and so on.

    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    Thanks Elly, its accually his legs that seem more unstable although he accually seems to be slowly getting better with that problem but not all the way, he hasn't eaten and seems very lethargic. So, i'm not going to forcefeed him. He just slept in one spot all night and all day, i will be back with you later, thanks.

    P.S. the pet store ordered him in for me so its either the breeders fault or the guy who shipped him here.
