[QUOTE="Claudiusx, post: 2039641, member: 31715"] He does look better in those older pictures. You can go to any home improvement store or feed store and you will be able to find aluminum domed heat lamps; if you don't want to buy petstore ones which are more expensive. Pick one up capable of handling 100-150w+ (maybe get two, one for your heat bulb one for your CHE). From there if you can find incandescent bulbs in your area, you can try a few different wattages to see what works for you. Incandescents are hard to find now though, so you are probably better off buying basking bulbs from the petstore. Ideally, I'd like if you could change the basking surface too. pick up a few bricks from the home improvement store so that he has a nice flat surface his whole body can rest on. Use other bricks to prop the surface up higher if need be. Once we make sure his basking situation is all situated, we can start working on the next steps which would be slowly working food back into him so he has the energy to fight off whatever infection is bothering him. But food will do nothing at this point for him if he's not able to properly digest it. I'd stop the meds completely at this point, especially since they are causing such a negative reaction with him and he is already at the point where his body is likely extremely fatigued. Not to mention we aren't even sure he has a bacterial infection. TLDR: Get new basking bulb fixtures and bulbs, fix the basking surface, get a basking surface temp of 100-105 over a large area so he can bask properly. We will work on getting him eating next. -Brandon [/QUOTE]
