hello,
Today when I walked over to Eddies enclosure I found him flipped on his side, so I flipped him over and then I heard a squeeking noise that sounded like wet shoes on hardwood. Should I be worried? Should I soak him in some warm water and see if that helps.
His temps are around 85-90 degrees

Uou should watch him and give him a soak, butt he was probably scared. Did you fix the problem why he flipped over?

I would keep a close eye on him for a day or two. For now your temps seem good, but if he's fine in a couple days, I think your temps need to be lower. The basking should be 95-100 the other temps, read the care sheet and adjust
