And what calcium supplement are you using?

His best chance would be if you could get him to an experienced reptile vet. On your own the best you can do is give him the calcium, get him in the sun,and get the proper UVB bulbs, also the right temps. in the tank. Basking area around 100-105 and cool end around 80. If you give him baby food, maybe squash or peas until he gets stronger [ hopefully he will] you can mix the calcium powder with it and just give a tiny bit at a time., like Tom said. You don't want to choke him to death.

Since he is so low on calcium, you probably should switch that bulb out for a 10.0 UVB

Yeah, these little guys can be expensive to take care of properly. I have no idea what your vet will charge you, but I just paid $80'ish (don't remember the exact, but it was $80 something). There was no "injection" in my case, but could have been, had mine been further along in her deficiency. My fee covered the office visit and calcium concentrate to administer 2X/day for 30 days. After that, I'll still have to administer 1X/day until the vet says she's good without it.

If you JUST bought your bulb, maybe the pet store will swap it for the one you need??
