Thank you everyone. Sadly, this did not have a happy ending. I actually can’t believe how much I’ve cried today over a non-mammal. He was a special buddy and I feel very guilty the setup was wrong. I did note that I measured him on 8/17 and today, he was not a millimeter bigger. Maybe there...

Great, thanks

I will! Can the ceramic light just replace the one I have hanging?

Ok all, here is what I was able to do in the last hour. Top is a screen but I closed off 2/3 with a towel. He is in his plastic hide with moist spagnum and I put a fake plant over him to shade him from the current heat lamp bright rays. Need to get the fluorescent tube and heat emitter today...

Thank you all so much for your support with this. I will get him a strip light - I am not sure how I can covert this silly sweater box because it's only about 4 inches deep. as an emergency measure, I do have a 10 gall glass aquarium I can setup as a stop gap to try and help him. He is two...

Thank you, that helps

Last pic is blurry... looks like a glass aqurium with a wood top? Apparently I’ve done it all wrong. So many people told me the sweater box was the right way to go.

Thank you for the information. This is just awful.

What was wrong with the diet? I’m not understanding what was wrong there. And is there any recovery from this disease with proper care?

@JoesMum Can you please send me a picture of what your setup looks like? I was assured by the breeder what we had setup was ok.

We we got him in mid July. So it’s been about that long.

Ok... I’m so sad. How long should I let him stay in the water?

Every day, then about three - four times a week, then down to like 2 more recently when daughter took over.

Yes it is soft, like we can push it in. We raised the lamp so high because the temp in that spot was over 100 degrees when lowered.
