I'm a new member with a 2-1/2 year old Uro. I just inherrited him from a pet store. She said he had worms but she cured him overtime. He's about 153.3grams & 11inchs. His nose is pealing. Temp is at 92f & humids at 20.(dry) I fead him bukchoy, garden mix salad and a crix or 2 every 2 weeks. What else can I put in his diet. His back legs is not working really good. He barely moves it. Its a little swollen. He does move, when I go in the cage though.

If he had worms thats fine, he should be good and plump around his middle. The temps in the cage should reach at least 120 deg in his basking spot 85 to 90 on the cool side. And types greens are fine thats where he get his water so alway have fresh greens available to him feed other veg to fine out what he likes, don't forget crickets and meal worms thay need protein and and calcium to his diet also to prevent MBS.
Good luck Uro's are great pets.

see a vet, and get your setup right, especially temps. it doesn't sound like you are exactly prepared for this animal, have you done any homework?
your immobile back legs are symptomatic of calcium deficiency, to start with, and only a vet will be able to give you a proper diagnosis (in person) and a base from which to start and rescue the health of this animal.
best of luck.
