My new adopted sick baby!!

[tocarmar]

I adopted this sick Leopard Gecko last week. He has not eaten in about 2 weeks before I got him, plus he had an eye infection. He lost most of his colors. Me & my girlfriend have been cleaning out his eyes & eyedropper feeding him for a week or so now. He is very active.

Looks like one contented pampered lizard, especially in that second photo. Hope he thrives for you.

Good for you for rescuing the little guy. The second photo seems to say, "I've got him feeding out of my hand. He he!"

That's not a baby, unless it's a Tremper giant variety it's full grown. Also, use a little fine sandpaper to remove the dead skin from his toes or else they could constrict new growth and kill the tip. Lots of info on kingsnake.com.

Update

Eric,
I know it is not a baby he is pretty much full grown. It was just a figure of speech.

He just started today to eat wax worms 8 of them this morn.

Remove the stool, as it sometimes contains parasite eggs. Also, don't let him get hooked on wax worms or he may refuse other food. They are very high in fat vs protein so not too good in the long run.
