Is the basking spot easily accessible and does he use it often? I would definitely bump up all the temps a little. And as mentioned above Do not let the temps drop to low at night.



How can you say you will be able to take care of the monitor for the entirety of its life if you do are not even sure if it will live through this? It was your choice to quit your job and good luck getting the new one you want. But you should have waited until you had the new job. You cant say you can afford the monitor when the purpose of this post way saying you cannot afford to take it to the vet. The vet is the only real way to take care of the problem. LIke mentioned above the things mentioned like raising temps will only help make sure the immune system is in good shape to try and fight off the RI. It is a huge gamble hoping this will work. Could it work? yea it could, but it isn't worth the risk. Especially when the vet will only be $100 to $150.



You made a mistake getting the monitor and thats not a huge deal. People on this forum are here to help. And part of that help is pointing out your mistakes. Dont try to fight back, just man up and learn from it.
