Yeah exactly, glass and plastic filter UV light.

And 3 months is not too young for calcium, he needs it to grow.

You can buy it from the Herp Shop, it's called Rep-Cal Calcium, you should also get the multivitamins too, i think it's called Rep-Cal Herptivite. I wouldn't use any other brand.

Put him out in the sun tomorrow supervised and let him soak up a few rays. Hopefully that'd give him a lil boost.

If his enclosure is next to a window with sunlight, be careful he doesn't overheat.
