He is doing better today. The swelling has gone down about half and he's able to move and use his eye now. I was advised he might be vitamin deficient so I cleaned out the cricket cage and calcium dusted, which I had only been doing every other week. I also think I need something better for keeping the humidity at the right levels. I spray him and the hole cage 3-4 times daily but maybe that's not enough. We gut-load with Fluker's and occasionally I throw a half an orange or tomato or potato in. Is there anything else that would be better suited for gut-loading the crickets? He's in a 60 gallon screen closer that temps vary from 85 degrees in his basking spot to 77 degrees in the bottom during the day but drops to about 73 at night. Is this warm or cold enough? I love this little guy and I thought I did enough research to take care of him but when this happened I've lost a lot of faith in myself. Thanks to all.
Amanda
