HELP!!!!

[Packer Lakerfan4]

I had a leopard gecko get out of my rack system back in august, since then i have gotten out of the hobby and sold off all my supplies. Well guess what... he turned up last night in the back of a closet. Looked pretty bad, he has used almost all of his fat from his tail and the rest of him is pretty skinny. I have him in a tub in my bathroom with a space heater going and a water dish in there, he has drank quite a bit of water and perked up a little bit, I also went and bought some meal worms and put a few in there, HE HAS NOT touched the meal worms, acted like he was thinking about eating and then didn't. any ideas to get him to eat. I keep my house 68 degrees year round because I also have a large saltwater aquarium that I cant let get to hot. I assumed he was dead a long time ago and actually kind of forgot about it. If he lives I will be keeping him. Please help with any advice you might have for me.

Bathtubs are cold! Go to a 24 hour drug store or walmart and get a at least a 6qt but preferably 15qt, and a human heating pad to put underneath part of the tub. He's not going to eat much, if at all when he's cold. Poor gecko, glad you found him. Good luck

go to the pet store and buy a 10 gallon tank and an undertank eater, really not all that expensive.
