Which are in the trash and I told the local pet store who suggested it that it should never be used. It's all cleared up now. We took baths regularly and he loves the water now so that was another plus. I've changed his lights and re did his cage. He seems to be doing much better. More alert and seems to be processing his food. I took the screen off and got clamps. I went out and got different veggies and different worms he loves okra and garbonza beans.
