    It's been eating small crickets -- not tong-fed, but catching crickets in it's enclosure (substrate coco earth, humidity 80%, temp around 80 degrees). The lump is on it's left side and it definitely seems to want to poop but there's no output yet.

    I'll go get some Repti-Aid now, thankfully there are 2 pet stores within a few miles of my home and I think I've seen it at the closer pet store.

    Repeat the soaks as necessary. Every night to every other night. Also when you place him back home make sure you have Luke warm water in his water dish as well and place him in it and leave him be. Do this after each soak out of his home.

    Thank you. I got some Repta Boost and gave it to him, not sure how much he got as it mostly got all over my hand. The little guy opened up his mouth easily enough. He weighed in at 20 grams. Hopefully the little guy will pull through this.

    Do everything advised. Check on him daily and keep up the soaks. A vet may be needed if it appears to get worse.
