Update:

I took "Lucky" to the vet several weeks ago. They said he did not have a respiratory infection, but is malnourished for sure. This was prior to Memorial Day weekend. Approximately 1 week later "Lucky" ate a little bit of Reptomin, but has had nothing since then and it has been over a week and a half. Everyday I put her/him into a small container (with a little water of course) and attempt to feed it. I have presented it with worms, cooked chicken, cooked hamburger meat, and some sort of food that I found at the pet store that claimed to be an appetite stiumulant based on its color and smell...still NOTHING!! She/he has begun basking and does so everyday which is good, because she wasn't doing that before. Any other suggestions?
