Thanks everyone. He's still looking pretty bad, not moving much at all. And he coiled up all weird again.
I tried soaking him a little...I'll do it more, it was just making me nervous. I tried soaking him a couple days ago and he was very responsive...he didn't seem to to like the water much and did everything he could to keep his head as far from the water as he could lol. (not that I was actually trying to put his head in there tho.) But today when I tried to put him in he did react at all and actually just let his head slip all the way under the water. That's why it was making me nervous.
The heat in the tank is normal from what I've seen everyone say it should be.
Dr. Del - another strange thing with him was with the hides. When I got him for the first week he didn't go anywhere near the hides and just usually stuck himself next to the water bowl against the glass. I basically had to put him in the hide myself, and it wasn't until then that he actually started using it. Then he used it for a couple weeks normally, and once he started getting bad a couple days ago, he stopped using it again.
Also he never really chose a specific side that he preferred since I had him. When I first got him he mainly stayed to the cool side. Then after handling him once, I put him on the branch I had on the warm side and he mostly stayed to that side. Then he switched back to the cool. And this is with the temp of the cage not changing much.
When he would be on the cool side he would shove himself next to the glass and the water bowl, and when he was on the warm side he would shove himself between the branch and the glass. I don't know if that sounds peculiar or not.
Jessica: I tried assist feeding him today and couldn't even get him to open his mouth.
