Please get the uvb first this is absolutely crucial at this time- another crucial item is digital probe thermometers 2 of them the decor is fine for now-- temps and uvb are the top priority now

 

[Mlevy]

Ok

Apply w/ a q tip -- you can use it straight or mix w/ a little warm water -- what are your surface basking temps running? The UVB is crucial please get it as soon as you can - this will also help w/ the scab as well --- UVB rays are crucial to him --- over all health and skin
