So it turns out the bar light is just barely too long to be mounted in the tank. It’s the only one I could find though, after four pet stores, so I’m stuck with it. Basking temp is right at 100 now and he was basking when I got home. He ate a little green bean baby food with vitamins and calcium mixed in tonight, but not much. I tried to get a video of how he moves, but he decided he was tired as soon as I got the phone out.
I also had no luck finding a scale small enough to weigh him. I did gently put his legs straight and he pushed himself up like that for a few minutes before sinking back down and flipping his arms backwards again.
That vet appointment can’t come quick enough!
