Beleive it or not, he looks better than he did.

For those of you just getting the info on this little baby:
* I was brought this little guy by someone who claimed to have rescued it from their neighbor's empty apartment. He had no cage, lighting, heat, food or water for over a week according to the guy that brought him to me.
* Had him for about a week-week and a half now.
* At first he was lethargic, refusing food, and probably the CLOSEST to death of any animal Ive ever rescued.
* I was instructed to administer saline injections once a day untill he started eating.. Which seems to have brought around a significant improvement. He's eating quite a bit, soaking, moving around in the cage, and pooping OFTEN!
* This weekend I will worm him, and see if that makes an improvement on his saggy, scrawny appearance.

Any advice from experienced Spiny Tailed keepers would be more than welcome and appreciated. (OTHER THAN telling me to keep him warm and offer food..I actually had someone suggest that...eeesh!)

Right now, I have him housed in a large tank 75gal (which is big now..lol)
He has UVA/UVB lighting 12hrs a day, and gets to go outside in a mesh cage when its warm enough.. Gets 100-110 basking area, and 84/90 ambient temps for cool/warm cage temps. Obviously he has a large water bowl, and so far all I can get it to eat is crickets, so I've been dusting them well with Vit. and Calcium powder. I've offered strawberries, cantaloupe, mustard greens, collards, squash..he buries them! I think they are primarily carnivores as babies..but thought I would at least offer
