One of my rescues is around 18-24 months. He is approx 6" and I noticed his sides have some give. I have seen countless reports of this and then calcium supplements. It's been cold so I can't take him outside but sometimes I keep the window open so he gets natural sunlight. His basking spot reaches 98-102. And the coldest part is like 75-80. I have a heat emiter on the way. (First one I got was broken) so I'm going to fix that soon! He has a cool UVB bulb, (yes I know, they can harm the eyes.) I'm going to have a MVB put in for him but I'm waiting on my new fixtures to come in. He eats fine and I soak him every other day for 25-30 mins. He is having regular bowel moments. His previous conditions were not the best, he was in a plexiglass glass enclosure. Also on a calcium substrate. I have him on coco coir. Please help! thanks.
