so do you have abasking bulb too then? you should have two bulbs, teh UVB 5.0, and a basking bulb.

and I don tknow about the nutrobal, but i think the supplementing is off.

yea well whoever told you that was wrong.

no heat mat. and no substrate.
if a bug gets down ther and your cham eats it, they can become impacted.
so remove both. and load pics, we need to check the limbs and body
