That is so unbelievably awful. I'm glad you're able to give him a fighting chance.

I agree with murrindindi, though. Feeding should probably be low on your priority list right now. Getting his wounds treated and keeping him warm AND hydrated should really be top priority. Since you're keeping him without substrate, you should probably get him a humidifier.

As far as the bulb goes, you said it's a 100w regular bulb. That's using alot of wattage and not outputting much heat where you need it. You would be better off getting a spot lamp with lower wattage to get the directional heat that you need for a basking spot. The better setup would be two or three 45w bulbs arranged to create a large basking spot that he can fit his entire body under. Those dome fixtures are cheap at the Walmart, and so are the spot lamps.
