I bought Vitti a 45w plain flood light for her tank till the Megaray comes and I can wear it in. I also baught her a Temp/Humidity digital thermometer in addition to a tub to take baths in and some squash baby food. Upon getting home I let her eat a little bit of the baby food and gave her a bath. (with baby warm water) Her coloring lightened when she was put into the water so she seemed to like it, though with her eye troubles she really didn't move around a whole lot. I watched over her as she soaked for about 15 minutes and took her out when I noticed the water was beginning to cool.
According to the thermometer her tank is around 90 degrees at the bottom with roughly 30% humidity. I realize this is not quite optimal but I have absolutely no way of buying a heater till my next paycheck and by then the megaray should be here. I noticed her looking about with her eyes a bit but still not a whole lot. My problem lies at the fact sometimes she seems to be improving, she looks around and reacts to things. Others she just lays about with her eyes closed like when she is asleep, a bit limp. I'm probably just being paranoid but hopefully she will do better when her eyes get better
Shes in her bath, as you can see her eyes are closed but shes looking my way. I pray that its just UVB deprivation and her eyes doing this
