Kieth-tey home depot, they have all kinds of fixtures, I think you can find what you need. By the way your right on the money about the wieght and all, he does look ematiated, I did notice his eyes as being open and clear so inspite of his poor shape it may be possible to turn him around. Have you tried crickets yet? Also I think he is weak and I don't think necessarily hibernation is the issue. He does have a bueatiful color, it's a shame people let these lizards get to this point. I give you kudois for all the effort your putting into this guy!! Just keeping him hydrated and trying to get him to eat are the two things now. I think there isn't a whole much more that can be done. I am sorry about Sper JUice, I ment to write super juice refering to the stuff you have been using for the last few days. By the way does he just lay on top of the substrate at night, or does he try and bury himself? I'm thinking you may need to try those crikets quickly and if he won't eat on his own you may have to try and use the butter knife or dull pocket knife to open the mouth (from the side and put in a criket)--Cable do you have anything else to suggest?? Here is my over all feeling at the momnent after seeing his picture I am thinking that if he is weak and you haven't seen an improvement with what you have tried to do so far, then every day he is loosing his will due to weakness etc. I am thinking that the mealworms may have been hard on his stomack, buit don't know for sure. Is he going to the bathroom? Let me know. I don't know how else to help at this moment.........
