Okay so a customer came into my store with this very malnourished leopard gecko and I could not say no. It still has some residual skin left from it's last shed which looks like it didn't go very well. It's missing every toe tip and I can see it's spine pretty well. It's still incredibly perky, no sunken eyes and still shows a lot of interest in food.
I gave it a few wax worms because I figured they're higher in fat and it needs it. Was that okay? It's about 7-8 inches long and almost all white. I haven't actually checked for the sex yet because I really don't want to stress the poor little guy out by too much handling. So far it's being kept in a 20 gallon(long) fish tank and I have play sand in it. Is that okay or should I switch to something else? It has a little hide and of course a water dish. I also have a 75watt infrared bulb on one side. Should I switch to an UTH or keep the bulb?
I apologize if this is in the wrong sub-forum. I figured this thread is all about general care so this would be the correct place. And thank you for any and all information you all can give me. I want this little guy/girl to thrive.
