Can't help with advice, but you said one was on it's back?

You are correct and I think this Iggie is dying, it was ill in my eyes when I got it and it is getting worse, it can barely hold on to its perch and it keeps falling and it has waste smeared underneath its tail. At this point I am thinking of returning it to the rescue I got it from and seeing if they have healthier ones.
you can always try making a veggie smoothie for the sicker one.. i cant see the pics because i am at work but i have used the smoothies to help weak/sick reps before so its just a suggestion.. it might only need a little food for a bit of a jump start

Its a lost cause, took it too the vet and the little guys spine is broken in two places and he has a broken leg, not sure how it happened, but its safe to say he came in contact with some trauma previous to my picking him up.

in that 40 gal its not a good idea 2 have a 120 basking spot what do u think will happen to the cool side?
Yeah, nothing the vet could do. And I have my basking spot at hundred and I am able to keep the other side of the tank at 80, but a higher basking temp would be too high in the tank I believe. That and they do not use the 100 degree spot as it is, they prefer the lower temp spot.
it is called a diaphragm and if you didnt know that is why we can lay on our back.channarox;5080290; said:
