Things are just not going good for Rex I just took him out and noticed he has a cut on either side of his tail. It looks like he cliped it in something, but there is nothing that sharp in his cage. Everything is sticking to it, so I just rinsed it with a few drops of water, and have put him in a tupperwear bowl untill it dries a bit (which hopefully it does). That would be all we need is to have it get infected, should I put something on it? polysporin? HELP PLEASE, there is no vet out here that I can take him to.

Neosporin is the best thing for a cut. You really need to find out what he cut himself on. Run your fingers over everything in the enclosure("carefully"
. Make sure you soak him to get his wound flushed out then apply the neosporin. He'll be fine.
