actually you should be worried about the UVB. without it your reptile can develope mbd. My hhatchling is only 3 months old and I was waiting for my big cage to be done where he has 2 four ft uvbs and He had already started to develop it in his tail. The longer you wait the more chance you have of him being crippled later on. you need a 10.0 bulb. you can also over to him on vitamin D 3 supplements. D3 powder doesnt do what you think it does. Also make sure his temps are in the 115-125 area so he can properly digest his food. Live prey daily with his normal meal and keep that patched and watch for infection. See if your able to use neosporn this I do not know. I really wish you would take him to the vet asap.also I hope you have a bigger cage setup for him soon because the 75 gallon is going to be useless very soon.
