So, I 'm aware that this is a situation that will need a herps attention, but unfortunately I'm not going to be able to afford a vet until my paycheck in two weeks, and I was wondering what I could do until then.
I'm not exactly sure how old he is (he's 3 inches or so) and he has recently taken to basking a lot more than usual, on top of not being able to sink at all. We feed him half a pellet in the morning and half at night and he's been eating regularly, and is very excited every time we offer him food. We have a basking spot at roughly 90 degrees, and a 40 gallon tank kept at 80 (as low as 75 on the far sides of the tank), as well as a 70 gallon filter. I suspect it might be RI, though I am not familiar enough to make a decision. Basically I'm asking if any of you have an speculation as to what it might be, and what precautions I can take until I can take him into a herp!
Thank you all very much!
