I keep a very close eye on his conditions. He's in a 50 gallon tank currently. I learned in the past that just about every bedding bothers him so I finally settled on newspaper for the longest time now. I haven't had any problems with it.

As far as his underbelly it's a irritated pink. I'm pretty sure it's not belly rot or anything so serious though I think I figured out why he has that when I woke up this morning. He pushed his log out of the way and somehow managed to get under his bedding to lay directly on the glass. So for now I just have his heating lamp on until I can get to the store and get something to bar his way under the bedding. ><;

He's still wheezing as of this morning so as of the advice given I turned up his heating lamp to bring the temp up. He has his half log that he likes to disappear under for shade.

Aside from the wheezing and bad shed that I don't want to mess with (I refuse to soak him until he's not wheezing) quite yet ... anyone have any idea why he's so... lethargic? He still barely does anything to try and grip onto me when I move him. Could his fasting have made him weak?
