I now have the proper lighting you told me about now (the HO T5 UV tube light), but the temp/humidity sensor hasn't come in yet. I'll let you know the readings of it when it comes in.
Potentially good news, his eyes have opened (somewhat). I have been giving him the pureed collard green soaks and reptile rinse eye drops every day and it finally seems to be making progress. I say somewhat because I can only sort of see his eyeball. I'll show pictures to show you what I mean. I...
