He is a tiny one!
How often does he bang his nose up against the glass?
It is a bit hard to tell, but is it on or around his nostril? If it appears inflammed you can try to use
a bit of raw, unpasteurized honey on that area in case there might be some bruising or irritation
on that area from nose banging.
He is eating pretty well then?

If his temps. + uvb are not up to par it will affect his energy and also greatly decrease his ability to stay healthy , his immune system will be weak and he will be more susceptible to any small health problem. You say that you think he's eating , what do you feed him and do you see him eat ?
AHBD":21oka92p said:So that's a problem, the heat + uvb are both inadequate. A coil or compact on top of a 40 gallon is much too far away so he's getting next to no uvband the small heat bulb only getting the basking temp. has kept him from thriving. Make sure you get the 75 watt in right away, it's absolutely and desperately needed. You'll need some type of basking log so he can get closer to the uvb and you need a long tube byulb ASAP. If he's only eating 1-2 crickets he should be eating at least 15-30 every day. I know it's going to cost you bet the gecko needs his own tank, you CAN just use a small/medium plastic storage tote which is only 7-8 bucks and you'll need an under tank heater for it.

And yeah, a storage tote is fine, it works perfectly and is much less expensive than a tank so you should have the money for a heat pad right away. Make sure your gecko has a warm hide as well as one that is moist, you can use damp folded up paper towels but you need the under tank heater for the hides to stay warm.

Just set him in his cage, soaking in water won't do anything. I'm truly sorry that this has happened to you + your dragon.
