I don't mean to sound rude but is he alive yet? If he is I would try giving him a warm soak! Also what is your temps and lights? What type UVB how old and how are you measuring the temps?

i have been using a dropper to give him water he is atleast 4 monts old. I am using two thermometers from petco I dont know what kind and I am using te light bulbs that were segested to me on this site. he sarted opening his eyes and movig after I gave him water, he drank about an entire water bowl full of it.

but now he stoped again

Are they the thermometers that stick on the cage or is it digital? What's been going on with him for the past few days? Is this something that just started today? What are your temps??

 

[Twobeardieguy]

Ok can you tell us about your set up! As in uvb what type and temps how you are measuring them! If they are the stick on type they can be off as much as 20 degrees!! Sounds like he may be a bit dehydrated! Try to get more water into him! You can also use pediylite or Gatorade! You have to water it down!

How is Godzilla doin this morning??

 

[bigbrow4]

we got him to a vet. they gave us some antibiotics and I gave him a long soak in reptisafe water and I used a mister on him durin the soak, he was moving around then but now he just sits. they are the kind that sticks on the tank (thermomiters). and the temp whent down on the cool side to 75F just in the last hour, the warm side is 85-90F i think he is blocked up the vets didnt have anybody that delt with reptiles but they had a owner there. what do I do for a blockage?

I'm no expert but for starters, I would get a digital thermometer...If the sticky ones that you have say 95, the temps could very well be 125!! So please go to Wal-Mart or somewhere close to get that. If he is impacted then soaking is great, give him a belly massage as well. Some pure pumpkin from a can (not pumpkin pie filling) helps also. When is the last time he ate and pooped?
