Thanks,
He does enjoy fish sometimes-I cut it up as he is too small to tackle a minnow, he also likes eggs whites...he hates Reptomin, I read somewhere in the posts that putting a cuttle bone in the tank for calcium, I can try that. I used to just toss in the Reptomin thinking he'd get some benefit from it being in the water. I have reptile lights and he gets wonderful sun light from a southern exposure, also goes outside when it's sunny and warm to bask...I guess he's not over weight then...oh, he swims and his little legs just go and go so wouldn't he have trouble swimming if his legs were bad?
Thanks again for the tips, appreciate it!
