In the past he has managed well with basking spots, climbing up them anyway he can! He even used to jump from them every once in a while.
Wilmo has grown though, and now has been having more trouble climbing up a steeper basking rock I had purchased for him to replace an old one.
I was wondering if there are any basking options that would be easier for him to climb on? Maybe a shallow slope? I even considered just using a reptile hammock thing on his basking side.
If hes having trouble I'd probably be inclined to just use a brick that's not very tall and give him a flat basking surface. You'll probably have to lower your heat bulb or get a stronger one. Personally I'd just try to make it easy for him to get to the heat.

Wilmo is around a year and a half old! The petco I adopted him from wasn’t quite sure about his age. I had brought him to the vet and they said he should have several years left before adeno takes it’s course. The function of his limbs is about the same, he’s just grown to the point where climbing is tough.
Thanks for the response! I’m gunna consider the brick, I was also thinking about a shallow half log of that sounds alright.
I think a flatter surface would definitely be helpful for him, if he's having trouble with his
climbing. bricks are nice & those flat stepping stones, too. If you use a hammock be sure
it's cloth & not the green mesh so he doesn't get his claws caught in them. I would mount it
low also to where it's easier for him to climb in.
