Just an update on Bruce's condition.

The swelling began as just a slight enlargement in his foot alone, but after I picked him up to inspect it, the swelling moved into his leg and possibly his stomach. In the middle of the night I got up to check on him and the swelling was much worse, but I noticed that he was able to walk, because when I got up this morning to turn on his day light he was in his water dish, sleeping.

The foot as a slightly red discoloration on the bottom, but this has not spread to his leg or his stomach as of yet. For now I'm not ruling out anything, so red leg could be a possibility, though I'm not sure if this particular ailment causes any swelling, I'm looking at warning signs for any possible injury.

Here are some pictures as of this morning:

As for behavior, he is still just trying to sleep it off I think. He shifted strangely in his water bowl and his nose was really close to the water so I moved him to a warmer position atop his stone bridge, I was afraid he would drown.

Right now, the temp is 82 and the humidity is 55%. I am afraid to mist because I don't know if humidity could have caused the swelling in the first place.
