But I think giving it a BIT more heat, a good humid hide would be a good step. My leo's humid hide is made out of one of the notecard holders. I split the lid from the bottom and cut a line in the lid so it could fit into the bottom. Then I cut a 2"X2" hole in the bottom. I line it with paper towels that I keep damp and change about once a week. Other great containers are those gladwear tupperware things. Also maybe start giving him a few waxworms and slowly seeing if he can take on weight.

The problem with malnutrition in any organism is that if you give them even the recommended amount of vitamins and nutrients, that can cause shock and chemical instability in the animal. They need to be gradually given precise amounts to get them back to stellar condition. That's something you can only trust to an experienced herp vet. I do think it's good of you to do what you can for the little guy.
I had to set him up kind of quickly, so I'm still tweaking his levels. I'll keep his heat up. Right now my biggest problem is getting his humidity under control. Putting together a better humid hide should help that though, I think. It really is so hard not to give him too much food. I've got a variety for him though, and I'll work him up slowly. He's definitely more active today. He's still weak so he has to rest a lot, but he's already stopped tolerating my hand being anywhere near him, which I'm taking as a good sign xD
