Severa,



Sounds like you have taken on quite a challenge and that you are making some real progress. It always amazes me how people who live with animals can let their state get so bad. I guess grateful though that she did bring him to a store and that the store has this relationship with you! OK, enough opinion and praise! LOL!



I cannot give you specific info as I have never rehabbed a herp but I can give you a link for Miner-al (the folks who make it, it is also sold readily via web):

www.miner-all.net/STFMINER-ALL.htm



here are some vet/society/rescue sites in GA. this first one is neat b/c it is annotated with actual experiences from herp keepers.

I can also offer a suggestion...maybe if you put a balled up cloth or piece of material (not a terry towel or anything with "loops" where his toes could get stuck) for him to grasp onto. This way he will stop grasping his own legs and it will help if he falls over, too.



Carlton (on this forum) has had extensive experience with rescuing herps and hopefully he will reply to you. Chris Anderson and Dr. Ivan Alfonse are good contacts and they can be found here occasionally, too.



I am sorry I cannot do more for you but at least this may help finding a vet and other resources.
