He has been opening his mouth and wiggling around and rolling. Every time we put he back on a branch he just falls off and he keeps stretching his arms and legs back

Oh my he is young...
Please fill out the form that was posted for you with as much detail as possible.
 
Wow very tiny. At that size it is hard to say. Sometimes they just don't do well even under good conditions.

I had one of my babies at about 1 to 2 weeks of age behave similar. He unfortunately did not survive. This does not mean it is the same thing, Just that babies are hard and some times it is hard to know. There 8 siblings living and thriving under the exact same conditions, but 2 simply did not make it.
I can not say my husbandry was spot on as it is my first clutch, but I believe it is all good according to research.

I see. Just not sure what to do with him or where to put him. I’m worried if I put him back in the tank he’s just gonna keep falling and get distressed and cold at the bottom
