Hi. Sorry your little one is having issues. Can you give a run down of the set up?

 

[hmc2015]

hes in a 40 gallon tank, substrate reptile carpet, temp 97-105
zoomed coil uvb 5.0 bulb a red bulb and a basking bulb. he eats mostly crickets dipped in calcium but hes just a baby and he is very picky on eating veg. I noticed the other day he was acting strange but i didn't think anything of it because when i picked him up he was fine then last his right back leg started shaking. Now tonight hes having seizures, and cant walk i'm taking him to the vet tomorrow. i'm so worried hes my baby

How are you taking the temps? Have you given him baths to make sure he stays hydrated? Get rid of the coil/compact asap those are very bad for them. He needs a reptisun 10.0 Tube and it needs to be mounted in the tank. Get rid of the red light any colored bulbs are bad also. He needs just a bright white basking light along with the reptisun 10.0 Tube. I use a 75 watt halogen with the tube uvb. Thats all the lights he needs. Make these changes and he should improve within a few days.
