Rescued gecko

Here's the newest rescue. Unfortunately, she/he belonged to my dad's girlfriend. They were keeping her in a tank with a screen top, never misted the tank for the months they've had him, only fed him crickets (I'm not sure if they had calcium on them or not)..he had a UTH but underneath his tank on the floor..and he had a heat lamp which was barely on, and when it would be, it'd be drying up any humidity in there.

His name is Lloyd, we're his fourth home. He has a deformed back, not sure if it's MBD or what, he had stuck shedding on him (hands, tail, bit around his mouth) and hadn't eaten in a few days. He happily took repashy as soon as we gave him some, and he's in an extra humid ICU which is doing him wonders. The shed is coming off on it's own already. He's also not using his back feet or right hand much. He can move them but not grip from the looks of it.

Any advice? What do you think is causing his back to be arched the way it is? I don't have the greatest crestie experience but my boyfriend has his own who lives here, and he's healthy and thriving so we're doing something right.
