Okay guys. So this guy is in a 55 gallon (going to try to trade for a 40 g hopefully) anyways the owners claimed he was given to them in a ten gallon tank at 4 years old. They've had him for 2 years without any UVB (they said he was dumped on them) and bought him the 55. He had his crickets and romain lettuce dusted with calc w d3. He was also fed supers and kept on sand. He feels a little funky, soft so to speak and wobbles when he walks. We stuck him in a ten gallon with a reptisun on him for 30 min as we removed the UTH heating rock and sand. We gave him a bath and his orange color went away instanty(sand). He drank a lot of water and then starting coughing/sneezing. Now he's back in his 55 with paper towels. He is able to hold his head up and can move a little more than expected. Now, do I stop the high protein food or continue since he's used to them? I tried giving him a dubia and he just stared.
We are currently on our way to petco to buy new decor and lamps and a new UVB as he's using baileys light. He's already trying to eat out ferret so were covering the sides.
Now, what else should I do? Bailey had mbd when we got her but it definitely wasnt this bad.
He feels so fragile that He's goin to break but I checked and he is definitely a boy.

he seems so much happier. It was depressing seeing him on the heat rock, he couldn't even move. He also seems very mellow for someone who was only handled for nail clippings, I've been poking him here and there (nails got stuck in the hammock and i poked shed on his face lol) and he doesn't mind.
