Get some Calcium and vitamin powder for Herps today if possible, he could be lacking in those two supplements, also, a trip to the vet may be on the safe side, just incase,it's hard to diagnose over the net.

Remind me of my two  , yes, I should have mentioned to get them out in the sun as much as possible, there is no substitute for real sun, and I suggest you order the suplements from Matt at www.animalattraction.com.au , great service, speedy delivery | | |
