new albino sunburst plz help

[dustyn134]

i just received a baby albino sun burst about 5 days ago he wont eat or even move towards his food he kind of acts like he is blind. his temp is 83 in the day and around 75-76 at night and i use infrared light and coco fiber as sub straight his humidity is at 64% is it possible for him to go blind in just half a day because of a normal house bulb i believe the pet-store i purchased it had him under a regular house bulb till i came to pic him up.

Yeah, ok, all good, except humidity, you need 70-80.
spring water is ok, but I suggest you use prime or any other water conditioner for it anyway.

pics are really needed.

Yeah, frog forum is having problems with it lately. Can you try photobucket or similar?
